Exact Nonparametric Two-Sample Homogeneity Tests for Possibly Discrete Distributions

Abstract

In this paper, we study several tests for the equality of two unknown distributions. Two are based on empirical distribution functions, three others on nonparametric probability density estimates, and the last ones on differences between sample moments.
