Abstract:
The classical two-sample problem is extended here to the case where the distribution functions of the observable random variables are specified functions of unknown distribution functions and the null hypotheses to be tested or the parameters to be estimated relate to these unknown distributions. Various properties of the proposed rank tests and derived estimates are studied.
