- Abstract
- In this paper we first show that the k -sample Anderson-Darling test is basically an average of Pearson statistics in 2 x k contingency tables that are induced by observation-based partitions of the sample space. As an extension, we construct a family of rank test statistics, indexed by c is an element of N, which is based on similarly constructed c x k partitions. An extensive simulation study, in which we compare the new test with others, suggests that generally very high powers are obtained with the new tests. Finally we propose a decomposition of the test statistic in interpretable components.
