On locally optimal nonparametric tests. Burger, H. U., Müller-Funk, P. D. U., & Witting, P. D. H. Zeitschrift für Operations Research, 36(2):163–184, March, 1992. ![On locally optimal nonparametric tests [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex There is an abundancy of problems in which no parametric model realistically describes the situation and in which, accordingly, we have to resort to nonparametric methods. As the numerical problems connected with nonparametric tests are becoming less and less important, rank tests, permutation tests and the like are becoming more and more part of the standard armatory of applied statisticians. The lack of tabulated critical values, for instance, should no longer be a serious objection against the use of permutation tests in practice; cf. Edgington (1987). The rationale underlying permutation and rank tests has been outlined in quite a number of text books and papers; cf. Fraser (1957), Lehmann (1959), Hájek-Sidák (1967) or Witting (1970). Roughly speaking, permutation tests are constructibel if the data can be condensed by means of a sufficient and complete statistic allowing for the proper kind of conditioning. Rank tests arise if the underlying problem is invariant with respect to (w.r.t.) a large group of transformations which leads to a maximal invariant statistic consisting of (signed) ranks. Most practical nonparametric problems, however, are too complex to be tractable by just one of those approaches. Many of them, however, can be handled by a combination of both techniques. In this paper we outline the logic underlying that combined reduction method and apply it to construct locally most powerful tests. Moreover, we discuss what we label “Hoeffding's transfer problem”, i.e. the uniformity aspect of locally most powerful tests with respect to the starting point at the boundary. We are concentrating on the discussion of the nonparametric two-sample location and scale problem. Further important problems are mentioned in Section III.
