Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1991, vol. 40, issue 3, 443-447

Abstract: Utilizing the work of Puri and Sen in multivariate nonparametric theory, this paper describes methods for obtaining nonparametric point and interval estimates for a common ratio, say α, which exists between certain elements of the mean vector of a multivariate population. These are then applied to estimate α on the basis of measurements of head length and head breadth of pairs of brothers and growth of pairs of plants. Some advantages of the nonparametric method are explained.
