Inverse Sampling for Bivariate Nonparametric Two-Sample Problems Against Restricted Alternatives

Abstract

The object of the present investigation is to provide suitable nonparametric tests for testing the identity of two bivariate distribution functions F₁ and F₂ against a class of restricted alternatives when there is sample of fixed size m from F₁ and the observations from F₂ are drawn sequentially. Various large sample results of the proposed tests are formulated and examined.
