Abstract

For the derivation of locally most powerful (LMP) rank tests, a general method that encompasses a wide variety of testing problems and type II censoring schemes is formulated. Applications are illustrated in the context of the one-sample, two-sample, and regression problems. It is shown that the traditional derivations of the LMP rank tests are greatly simplified with the proposed method. The LMP criterion is also applied to some problems for which only ad hoc tests were previously proposed.
