Precedence-Type Tests for the Comparison of Treatments with a Control

Precedence-type tests are proposed for comparing several treatments with a control. The null distributions of these test statistics are derived, and critical values for some combination of sample sizes are then presented. Next, the exact power function of these tests under the Lehmann alternative is derived and used to compare the power properties of the proposed test procedures. Finally, an example is presented to illustrate all the test …
