Abstract

In this paper we propose a nonparametric one sided test for location parameters in p-variate(p$\geq$2) location translation model. The exact null distributions of test statistics are calculated by permutation principle in the case of relatively small sample sizes and the asymptotic distributions are also considered. The powers of various tests are compared through computer simulation and thep-values with real data are also suggested through example.
