DISTRIBUTiON-FREE TWO-SAMPLE TEST ON RANKED-SET SAMPLES

  • Published : 1998.04.01

Abstract

In this paper, we propose the two-sample test statistic using Wilcoxon signed rank test on ranked-set sampling(RSS) and obtain the asymptotic relative efficiencies(ARE) of the proposed test statistic with respect to Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon statistic on simple random sampling(SRS), the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon statistic on RSS, sign statistic on RSS and Wilcoxon signed rank test on SRS. From the simulation works, we compare the powers of the proposed test statistic, Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon statistic on RSS, the usual two-sample t statistic, sign statistic on RSS, where the underlying distributions are uniform, normal, double exponential, logistic and Cauchy distributions.
