Returns - 2 x log-likelihood and the p-value for the joint hypothesis test for skewness and kurtosis

Parameters:

skew0 : float

Skewness value to be tested

kurt0 : float

Kurtosis value to be tested

return_weights : bool

If True, function also returns the weights that maximize the likelihood ratio. Default is False.

Returns:

test_results : tuple
