Hypothesis Testing over Observable Regimes in Singular Mo...

Hypothesis testing in singular statistical models is often regarded as inherently problematic due to non-identifiability and degeneracy of the Fisher information. We show that the fundamental obstruction to testing in such models is not singularity itself, but the formulation of hypotheses on non-identifiable parameter quantities. Testing is inherently a problem in distribution space: if two hypotheses induce overlapping subsets of the model class, then no uniformly consistent test exists. We formalize this overlap obstruction and show that hypotheses depending on non-identifiable parameter functions necessarily fail in this sense. In contrast, hypotheses formulated over identifiable observables-quantities that are determined by the induced distribution-reduce entirely to classical testing theory. When the corresponding distributional regimes are separated in Hellinger distance, uniformly consistent tests exist and posterior contraction follows from standard testing-based arguments. Near singular boundaries, separation may collapse locally, leading to scale-dependent detectability governed jointly by sample size and distance to the singular stratum. We illustrate these phenomena in Gaussian mixture models and reduced-rank regression, exhibiting both untestable non-identifiable hypotheses and classically testable identifiable ones. The results provide a structural classification of which hypotheses in singular models are statistically meaningful.
