On the power of two-sample nonparametric partial sequential exceedance tests against location alternatives. (English) Zbl 0921.62099

Summary: The distributions of nonparametric two-sample partial sequential excedance test statistics for location alternatives are considered. The main emphasis of this note is to derive ‘closed form’ expressions for the distributions of those statistics under stochastically increasing alternative hypotheses. As special cases, Lehmann- and simple shift alternatives are considered and the power of special partial sequential tests is investigated.
