Stanford's archive records a technical report by Herman Chernoff, dated November 1951, on asymptotic efficiency of hypothesis tests based on sums of observations.[ref] This is historical source metadata, rather than a claim to have inspected the report's full proof. The modern theorem cited above connects that efficiency question to the log-likelihood ratio accumulated across repeated observations.
