Simulated Sample Behaviour of a Dissimilarity Index When Sampling from Populations Differing by a Location Parameter Only ()
ABSTRACT
In this paper the authors study empirically the power of the test based
on the index of dissimilarity to compare two samples drawn from two populations
differing only in the location parameter. We call such a test as test of
homogeneity. In practice the power of such a bidirectional test will be studied
referring to the absolute value of the shiftδand to the same probability models considered
by Fried and Dehling.
