La alternativa más común para implementar una prueba que detecta
cambios en localización y escala conjuntamente es combinar una prueba de
localización con una de escala. Para este problema, la prueba de Cucconi
es considerada como una alternativa de otras pruebas que se basan en los
cuadrados de los rangos y los contrarangos. Esta prueba es robusta en nivel
y es más poderosa que la prueba de Lepage la cual es la más usada para
el problema de localización-escala. En este artículo se propone una modificación
de la prueba de Cucconi. La idea es modificar la prueba mediante
la combinación de una prueba de localización y uno de escala. Mas precisamente,
se sugiere combinar la prueba de Cucconi con la prueba de rangos de
Wilcoxon para localizacion y una prueba modificada de Levene siguiendo la
teoría de la combinación no paramétrica. Una comparación de la potencia
de esta prueba modificada de Cucconi con la prueba original, la prueba de
Lepage y la prueba PG2 de Podgor-Gastwirth muestran que la prueba de
Cucconi modificada es robusta en tamaño y mucho más poderosa que las
anteriores para todas las distribuciones consideradas desde la normal hasta
algunas de colas largas. Se hace una aplicación a datos reales.
The most common approach to develop a test for jointly detecting location
and scale changes is to combine a test for location and a test for scale.
For the same problem, the test of Cucconi should be considered because it
is an alternative to the other tests as it is based on the squares of ranks
and contrary-ranks. It has been previously shown that the Cucconi test is
robust in level and is more powerful than the Lepage test, which is the most
commonly used test for the location-scale problem. A modification of the
Cucconi test is proposed. The idea is to modify this test consistently with
the familiar approach which develops a location-scale test by combining a
test for location and a test for scale. More precisely, we will combine the
Cucconi test with the Wilcoxon rank test for location and a modified Levene
test following the theory of the nonparametric combination. A power comparison
of this modified Cucconi test with the original one, the Lepage test
and the Podgor-Gastwirth PG2 test, shows that the modified Cucconi test
is robust in size and markedly more powerful than the other tests for every
considered type of distributions, from short- to normal- and long-tailed ones.
A real data example is discussed.
