Abstract

In this article, median test for complete data is generalized to multiple Type-II censored data for the two-sample location problem. Since, the scores generating function associated with generalized median (GM) test statistic has a finite number of jump discontinuities, a modified version of the Dupac and Hajek (1969) theorem is used to establish its asymptotic normality under fixed location alternatives. The effect of censoring on the asymptotic efficiency (ARE) is studied. It is found that as long as the median of the data is available any particular case of multiple Type-II censoring has no effect on the ARE of the GM test. There is a gain in efficiency due to middle censoring when the underlying distribution is normal, logistic and extreme value distributions. This suggests that in this case, it is possible to improve the efficiency of GM test by discarding suitable portions of the data.
