Let $a={\pi }^2({\epsilon }^{-1}-1)$. From the supplied second moment of a mixture likelihood ratio, dropping a nonpositive term givesThe last step uses the assumed separation. It has a real square root only when $16{\nu }^{2}d\ge 1$; otherwise no parameters satisfy it. The chi-squared testing lower bound follows from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality: $\Vert P_1-P_0{\Vert }_{\mathrm{TV}}\le \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{{\chi }^2(P_1\Vert P_0)}\le 2\nu$. Every statistical hypothesis testing rule has sum of its Type I error and Type II error at least $1-\Vert P_1-P_0{\Vert }_{\mathrm{TV}}$. Its larger error is at least half the sum, hence

Two independent cyclic intervals intersect with probability at most $\min \{1,(2k-1)/d\}\le 2k/d$. For $k\le d/2$, precisely the $2k-1$ starting-point offsets $-(k-1),\dots ,k-1$ can overlap; for larger $k$, the upper bound is automatic. The cyclic interval overlap bound and the preceding chi-squared divergence estimate therefore giveAs in 1(e), the square-root hypothesis is meaningful when $\alpha d\ge 1$. The chi-squared testing lower bound bounds the total variation distance by $\sqrt{2{\alpha }^{\epsilon }}/2$. The worst individual Type II error dominates the error under the uniform mixture model. ThusTaking $\alpha$ small makes this lower bound informative. This argument uses the actual cyclic-interval alternative, without substituting a different family of subsets.

A scan statistic searches a family of candidate locations or subsets and reports the largest local statistic. Under a null hypothesis, a union bound converts a tail estimate for each candidate into a bound for the maximum; no independence between local statistics is required. Structured alternatives often permit a chi-squared testing lower bound using the overlap geometry of two candidates.
