Abstract: Abstract This chapter deals with comparing two dependent groups. For example, participants could be measured before and after receiving treatment for some medical condition. As another example, husbands and wives might be compared based on their political attitudes. In both cases, if θ ̂ j $$\hat {\theta }_j$$ is some location estimator for the jth group, there is the issue of taking into account any association between θ ̂ 1 $$\hat {\theta }_1$$ and θ ̂ 2 $$\hat {\theta }_2$$ when making inferences about how θ 1 $$\theta _1$$ and θ 2 $$\theta _2$$ , the population measures of location, compare.
