摘要:
A modified Mann-Whitney statistic is used to construct a permuation test for comparing samples of paired data from two populations when the population identities of each pair are uncertain. An estimator of the probability of population misidentification within a pair is also proposed. This is based on the Lehmann family of distributions. Simulation results show the new methods are generally as more effective than existing normal theory unless there is strong correlation within pairs.
