Stopping Rules
Parameterize hypotheses by shift parameters e L, e U
· 0 £ eL £ 1 is shift of q0- away from q+  toward q0 
-q0- = q+ - eL ´ (q+ - q0)
-
·0 £ eU £ 1 is shift of q0+ away from q-  toward q0 
-q0+ = q- + eU ´ (q0 - q-)
-
·Constraint: 1 £ eL + eU £ 2
·
·Test can be thought of as (eL + eU)-sided
