Abstract: | The MRPP test statistic studied by Mielke and others is the weighted average distance between pairs of observations within a group. They defined 12 symmetric functions to obtainits first three moments. We define 23 additional symmetric functions to obtain the fourth moment. This can beuseful instudying further approximations to its sampling distribution. We also study the special case when the distance function is the Euclidean distance between ranks of observations |
