In this research we propose several nonparametric simultaneous test procedures for location and scale parameters. We construct test statistics based on linear rank statistics choosing a suitable combining function. We obtain the overall p-values by applying the permutation principle. We compare the efficiency amongst combining functions by obtaining empirical powers through a simulation study. We discuss some interesting aspects of our procedure as concluding remarks.
En este artículo se propone un procedimiento de pruebas simultáneas no paramétricas para los paramétros de localización y escala. Se construyen los estadísticos de prueba basados en los estadísticos de rangos lineales para las subhipótesis nulas con la escogencia de una adecuada función de combinación; se obtienen los valores p al aplicar el principio de permutación; se compara la eficiencia entre las funciones de combinación mediante la obtención de las potencias empíricas a través de un estudio de simulación y por último se discuten algunos aspectos interesantes del procedimiento como conclusiones.
