Title
Comparing a New Gini Test with Other Symmetry Tests When Median Is Unknown.
Abstract
Although there exists an ample literature on the tests of univariate symmetry, each article provides comparison of few selected competitors only. We are comparing the performance of 15 tests recommended in the literature and two new methods introduced by Auda (2006). One of them, rank-based test RS, compares favorably with several existing procedures in controlling the Type I error as well as in power as shown in our comprehensive simulation study. An important novelty in the article are Figs. 1 3 enabling comparison of Type I error probabilities and power of the 16 tests for 17 null and 19 alternative distributions.
