Shirahata, Shingo; Wakimoto, Kazumasa Asymptotic normality of a class of nonlinear rank tests for independence. (English) Zbl 0539.62024 Ann. Stat. 12, 1124-1129 (1984). Summary: Asymptotic normality of a class of nonlinear rank statistics to test the null hypothesis of total independence of an m-variate population is proved. The rank statistics are generated from 2m-variate square integrable functions such that they are symmetric and nondegenerate. Some results under contiguous alternatives are also given.
