Abstract

The level of ordinary two-sample procedures is not preserved if the two populations differ in dispersion or shape. The effect of such differences, especially differences in dispersion, on the t, median, Mann-Whitney, and normal scores procedures is investigated asymptotically, and tables are given comparing the four procedures.
