Statistics & Probability Letters, 1994, vol. 19, issue 3, 199-204

Abstract: A class of distribution-free tests for the two-sample location problem is proposed. This class includes Mathisen's median test and Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test as special cases. The performance of the proposed class of tests is evaluated in terms of Pitman asymptotic relative efficiency for a number of distributions.
