Abstract Collings and Hamilton (1988), described a uniform bootstrap method that is applied
on observed or pilot data in order to approximate the power of the two‐sample Wilcoxon test …

Power calculations of a statistical test require that the underlying population distribution (s)
be completely specified. Statisticians, in practice, may not have complete knowledge of the …

Sample size determination methods are considered for hypothesis testing about location
parameters of two continuous distributions using independent random samples and the …

In this chapter, the data for illustrating the two‐sample location procedure consists of two
random samples, one from the control population and an independent sample from the …

The present study has as its object an accurate evaluation of the power of the two-sample
equal sample size Wilcoxon test over an extensive practical range of uismnmioriv The …

A consistent test for difference in locations between two bivariate populations is proposed,
The test is similar as the Mann-Whitney test and depends on the exceedances of slopes of …

An adaptive distribution-free test is proposed for the two-sample location problem. First, the
data are used to assess the tailweight and skewness of the underlying distributions. This …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the univariate and multivariate multisample
location and scale tests. It confines to the discussion of the nonparametric approach under …

Traditional methods for calculating the power of a statistical test for location shift require
knowledge of the shape of the underlying probability distribution. The distribution shape …

Efficiencies of variety of two–sample tests are examomed for a broad class of distributions.
Two new test statistics are introduced. and their potential use as part of an adaptive …
