چکیده

We are concerned with testing procedures for umbrella alternatives in the k-sample location problem without making the assumption that the underlying populations have the same shape. Modifications of the Mack-Wolfe tests are proposed for the cases when the peak of the umbrella is known or unknown. The proposed procedures are exactly distribution-free when the continuous populations have the same shape. The modified test for peak-known umbrella alternatives remains asymptotically distribution-free when the continuous populations are symmetric, but not necessarily with the same shape. On s'intiresse ii des proc6dures pour tester l'bgalitb de k paramttres de position versus des alternatives de type parapluie (0, 5 .. . 5 0, 2 ... 2 ek,pour un p, avec au moins une inigalitb stricte), cela sans supposer que les populations sous-jacentes ont la mCme forme. On propose des modifications aux tests de Mack-Wolfe dans le cas oii le sommet du parapluie est connu et aussi dans le cas oii il est inconnu. Lorsque les lois des populations sous-jacentes sont de type continu et ont la mCme forme, les procidures proposies sont indbpendantes de celles-ci. Dans le cas d'alternatives avec sommet connu, le test modifii demeure asymptotiquement indipendant des populations sousjacentes si celles-ci sont de type continu et symitriques, mais pas nicessairement de la m&me forme.

Adaptive Nonparametric Tests for the Generalized Behrens-Fisher Problem

Some adaptive test procedures are developed for the generalized Behrens-Fisher problem. The one having a deterministic approach is based on calculating a measure of symmetry from each sample and using them as a basis for choosing between the modified Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (Fligner and Policello, 1981) and the modified Mood’s median test (Fligner and Rust, 1982). The other one is a probabil...

Behrens-Fisher Problem with One Variance Unknown

This paper presents the generalized p-values for testing the Behrens-Fisher problem when one variance is unknown. We also derive a closed form expression of the upper bound of the proposed generalized p-value. Keywords—Generalized p-value, hypothesis testing, upper bound.

Distributional Property of the Generalized p-value for the Behrens-Fisher Problem with Applications to Multiple Testing

The generalized p-value method introduced by Tsui and Weerahandi (1989) has been used to successfully provide finite sample solutions for many hypothesis testing problems when no solutions are available using the usual approach. Although simulation studies show that generalized p-values have similar distributional properties as ordinary p-values, no one has yet developed theoretical properties ...

Umbrella Tests for Right-censored Survival Data

This paper considers the problem of testing for umbrella alternatives in the one-way layout when survival data are subject to random right censorship. Testing procedures based on two-sample weighted logrank statistics are suggested for both cases when the peak of the umbrella is known or unknown. The Pitman efficacy of the peak-known umbrella test is derived. A class of Lehmann and scale altern...

Resampling Methods for the Nonparametric and Generalized Behrens-Fisher Problems

Defining a location parameter as a generalization of the median, a robust test is proposed for (a) the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem, where the underlying distributions may have different scales and could be skewed, and (b) the generalized Behrens-Fisher problem, where the distributions may even have different shapes. We propose to bootstrap a signed rank statistic based on differences o...
