  Rank tests for scale and tail-weight of distributions
 
 
Title: Rank tests for scale and tail-weight of distributions
Author: Caperaa, Philippe
Appeared in: Communications in statistics
Paging: Volume 21 (1992) nr. 2 pages 539-545
Year: 1992
Contents: It is widely recognized that for distributions having “light” tails, a proper rank test for scale should give more weight to the extreme ranks of the observations than the central ones. In this paper, we introduce a new tail-ordering and show that the asymptotic relative efficiency of certain rank tests for scale is preserved by this ordering when one of the tests' score function is more convex that the other.
