Comparison of Proposed K Sample Tests with Dietz's Test for Nondecreasing Ordered Alternatives for Bivariate Normal Data
(North Dakota State University, 2011)There are many situations in which researchers want to consider a set of response variables simultaneously rather than just one response variable. For instance, a possible example is when a researcher wishes to determine ... -
A Comparison of the Ansari-Bradley Test and the Moses Test for the Variances
(North Dakota State University, 2011)This paper is aimed to compare the powers and significance levels of two well known nonparametric tests: the Ansari-Bradley test and the Moses test in both situations where the equal-median assumption is satisfied and ... -
A Nonparametric Test for the Non-Decreasing Alternative in an Incomplete Block Design
(North Dakota State University, 2011)The purpose of this paper is to present a new nonparametric test statistic for testing against ordered alternatives in a Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIBD). This test will then be compared with the Durbin test which ... -
Nonparametric Test for the Umbrella Alternative in a Randomized Complete Block and Balanced Incomplete Block Mixed Design
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Nonparametric tests have served as robust alternatives to traditional statistical tests with rigid underlying assumptions. If a researcher expects the treatment effects to follow an umbrella alternative, then the test ...
