Likelihood ratio test for simultaneous testing of the mean and the variance of a normal distribution

In this paper, we consider the simultaneous testing of the mean and the variance of a normal distribution. The exact distribution of the likelihood ratio test statistic is obtained, which is not available in the literature. The critical points of the exact test are reported. We also consider some of the other exact and asymptotic tests. The powers of these tests are compared using the Monte Carlo simulations.
