Statistics & Probability Letters, 2016, vol. 119, issue C, 155-162

Abstract: A new characterization of symmetric distributions is presented. Two classes of distribution-free symmetry tests based on it are proposed. Their Bahadur efficiency is calculated and used for comparison with similar tests. Some classes of most favorable alternatives are also determined.
