Abstract

In this paper, we consider a versatile test based on percentile tests. The versatile test may be useful when the underlying distributions are unknown or quite different types. We consider two kinds of combining functions for the percentile statistics, the quadratic and summing forms and obtain the limiting distributions under the null hypothesis. Then we illustrate our procedure with an example. Finally we discuss some interesting features of the test as concluding remarks.
