The full parameter space has dimension two and the null space dimension one. The regular Wilks theorem therefore gives under as . If denotes the cumulative distribution function of the chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom, the approximate size- rejection region is
The corresponding approximate p-value is
The one degree of freedom here describes the large-sample likelihood-ratio test statistic; it is different from the exact residual degrees of freedom in the next part.
