This paper deals with the concept of adaptive scheme and with an application to the Oneway ANOVA model under uncorrelated errors. Oneway ANOVA model is sensitive to nonnormality as well as variance heterogeneity. To overcome these problems, an adaptive scheme is proposed. The adaptive test is a two step procedure. The given data is first examined and classified based on measures of skewness and tailweight. Secondly, a selector statistic is used for selecting a test to be conducted. A 10,000 simulations were conducted to compare the performance of the two models from different continuous distributions. Analysis of real data sets on equal and unequal sample sizes were performed to evaluate the efficiency of the two models. The findings showed that our adaptive scheme outperformed the parametric F-test in symmetric or skewed distributions with varying tailweights except for symmetric and medium-tailed distributions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
