Abstract

The paper explores a testing problem which involves four hypotheses, that is, based on observations of two random variables X and Y, we wish to discriminate between four possibilities: identical survival functions, stochastic dominance of X over Y, stochastic dominance of Y over X, or crossing survival functions. Four-decision testing procedures for repeated measurements data are proposed. The tests are based on a permutation approach and do not rely on distributional assumptions. One-sided versions of the Cramér–von Mises, Anderson–Darling, and Kolmogorov–Smirnov statistics are utilized. The consistency of the tests is proven. A simulation study shows good power properties and control of false-detection errors. The suggested tests are applied to data from a psychophysical experiment.
