Abstract We study statistical sum-tests and independence tests, in particular for computably enumerable semimeasures on a discrete domain. Among other things, we prove that for universal semimeasures every Sigma0/1-sum-test is bounded, but unbounded Pi0/1-sum-tests exist, and we study to what extent the latter can be universal. For universal semimeasures, in the unary case of sum-test we leave open whether universal Pi0/1-sum-tests exist, whereas in the binary case of independence tests we prove that they do not exist.
