    """Compute the test statistic (TS) between two nested hypothesis.

    The null hypothesis is the minimal one, for which a set of parameters
    are frozen to given values. The model is updated to the alternative hypothesis
    if there is a significant improvement (larger than the given threshold).

    Parameters
    ----------
    parameters : `~gammapy.modeling.Parameters` or list of `~gammapy.modeling.Parameter`
        List of parameters frozen for the null hypothesis but free for the test hypothesis.
    null_values : list of float or `~gammapy.modeling.Parameters`
        Values of the parameters frozen for the null hypothesis.
        If a `Parameters` object or a list of `Parameters` is given
        the null hypothesis follows the values of these parameters,
        so this tests linked parameters versus unliked.
    n_sigma : float
        Threshold in number of sigma to switch from the null hypothesis
        to the alternative one. Default is 2.
        The TS is converted to sigma assuming that the Wilk's theorem is verified.
    n_free_parameters : int
        Number of free parameters to consider between the two hypothesis
        in order to estimate the `ts_threshold` from the `n_sigma` threshold.
        Default is len(parameters).
    fit : `Fit`
        Fit instance specifying the backend and fit options.
