This paper is concerned with testing that r random samples are all from the same population when the data are left (or right) censored. A statistic is developed which has elements of a goodness-of-fit statistic and of a modified Kruskal-Wallis statistic. The efficiency of this statistic relative to some other commonly used statistics is calculated. Some Monte Carlo comparisons are given. |
