An asymptotically distribution-free test of symmetry
A procedure, based on sample spacings, is proposed for testing whether a univariate distribution is symmetric about some unknown value. The proposed test is a modification of a sign test suggested by Antille and Kersting (1977), but unlike Antille and Kersting’s test, our modified test is asymptotically distribution-free and is usable in practice. A simulation study indicates that the proposed ...
متن کاملDistribution-free test for symmetry based on Bonferroni's Measure
We propose a test based on Bonferroni's measure of skewness. The test detects the asymmetry of a distribution function about an unknown median. We study the asymptotic distribution of the given test statistic and provide a consistent estimate of its variance. The asymptotic relative eeciency of the proposed test is computed along with Monte Carlo estimates of its power. This allows us to perfor...
متن کاملtest for symmetry of distribution based on the entropy
the estimate of entropy (sample entropy), has been introduced by vasicek (1976), for the first time. in this paper, we provide an estimate of entropy of order statistics, that is the extention of the entropy estimate. then we present an application of the entropy estimate of order statistics as a test statistic for symmetry of distribution versus skewness. the proposed test has been compared wi...
متن کاملA Randomness Test for Stable Data
In this paper, we propose a new method for checking randomness of non-Gaussian stable data based on a characterization result. This method is more sensitive with respect to non-random data compared to the well-known non-parametric randomness tests.
متن کاملA statistical test for outlier identification in data envelopment analysis
In the use of peer group data to assess individual, typical or best practice performance, the effective detection of outliers is critical for achieving useful results. In these ‘‘deterministic’’ frontier models, statistical theory is now mostly available. This paper deals with the statistical pared sample method and its capability of detecting outliers in data envelopment analysis. In the prese...
