There is only one fully supported ergodic invariant probability measure for the adic transformation on the space of infinite paths in the graph that underlies the eulerian numbers. This result may partially justify a frequent assumption about the equidistribution of random permutations.
This paper deals with the hypotheses of symmetry of distributions with respect to a location parameter when the response variables are subject to measurement errors. Rank tests of hypotheses about the location parameter and the related R-estimators are studied in an asymptotic set up. It is shown, when and under what conditions, these rank tests and R-estimators can be used effectively, and the effect of measurement errors on the power of the test and on the efficiency of the R-estimators is indicated....
In this paper properties of some ranking and selection procedures based on robust -estimates of location parameter are studied. The least favorable configuration of parameters and the asymptotic efficiency relative to procedures based on sample means are found.
