Intermediate efficiency of tests under heavy-tailed alternatives

Abstract
We show that for local alternatives which are not square integrable the intermediate (or Kallenberg) efficiency of the Neyman-Pearson test for uniformity with respect to the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is equal to infinity. Contrary to this, for local square integrable alternatives the intermediate efficiency is finite and can be explicitly calculated.
