Comparing Two Samples: Extensions of the t , Rank-Sum, and Log-Rank Tests
两样本比较:t检验、秩和检验与对数秩检验的扩展
I consider the problem of testing that two populations are identical with respect to the distribution of a continuous variable against the alternative that values tend to be larger in one population. I observe that the t, rank-sum, and log-rank tests are insensitive for a large class of alternatives that may be expected to occur commonly in practice, propose a criterion for identifying this problem in a particular data set, and propose corresponding extensions of the…
