Test for exponentiality against Weibull and gamma decreasing hazard rate alternatives

Simos G. Meintanis (2007)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

A sub-exponential Weibull random variable may be expressed as a quotient of a unit exponential to an independent strictly positive stable random variable. Based on this property, we propose a test for exponentiality which is consistent against Weibull and Gamma distributions with shape parameter less than unity. A comparison with other procedures is also included.

On the asymptotic efficiency of the multisample location-scale rank tests and their adjustment for ties

František Rublík (2007)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Explicit formulas for the non-centrality parameters of the limiting chi-square distribution of proposed multisample rank based test statistics, aimed at testing the hypothesis of the simultaneous equality of location and scale parameters of underlying populations, are obtained by means of a general assertion concerning the location-scale test statistics. The finite sample behaviour of the proposed tests is discussed and illustrated by simulation estimates of the rejection probabilities....

Two-sample rank tests based on exceeding observations

Eugenia Stoimenova (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Simple rank statistics are used to test that two samples come from the same distribution. Šidák’s E -test (Apl. Mat. 22 (1977), 166–175) is based on the number of observations from one sample that exceed all observations from the other sample. A similar test statistic is defined in Ann. Inst. Stat. Math. 52 (1970), 255–266. We study asymptotic behavior of the moments of both statistics.
