| Abstract: | This paper studies the performance of tests which use a null hypothesis of bivariate symmetry and detect the broad class of location and/or scale alternatives . The conditionally distribution-free tests of Sen (1967) and Hollander (1971) and parametric tests related to those of Bell and Haller (1969) are compared in a Monte Carlo study which also includes a new conditionally distribution-free test. |
