For the isotonic normal means problem, Bartholomew (1961) discussed a conditional likelihood-ratio test of HO: the means are homogeneous, vs. H1: the means satisfy the linear order. He concluded that the conditional test was substantially less powerful than the chi-bar-squared test. However, for testing H1vs. H2: all alternatives, the corresponding conditional test can be more powerful than the chi-bar-square test. Moreover, the conditional test can be modified so as to be asymptotically α-similar.These conditional tests are of particular interest in general tests of simultaneous inequality constraints on parameters of asymptotically normal distributions, for which the coefficients corresponding to the p(Q.,k)’s are difficult to obtain. In this general context, the likelihood ratio statistic is asymp totically chi-bar-squared whenever the true parameter vector lies in H1; we outline a new proof based on Silvey’s theorem that a constrained estimate and its corresponding vector of Lagrange multipliers are asymptotically normal and independent.
