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 کاملAsymptotically distribution-free (ADF) interval estimation of coefficient alpha.
The point estimate of sample coefficient alpha may provide a misleading impression of the reliability of the test score. Because sample coefficient alpha is consistently biased downward, it is more likely to yield a misleading impression of poor reliability. The magnitude of the bias is greatest precisely when the variability of sample alpha is greatest (small population reliability and small s...
متن کاملIs QCD asymptotically free?
The asymptotical behaviour of the QCD coupling strength is considered. Its upper bound is found from the present experimental data. The assumption about the finite asymptotical value of the coupling strength leads to the energy scale where the perturbative predictions would fail. Possible tests of this assumption are considered. The property of the asymptotical freedom of the QCD coupling stren...
