Comparing One-Step M-Estimators of Location Corresponding to Two Independent Groups.

Wilcox, Rand R.

Psychometrika, v57 n1 p141-54 Mar 1992

A method of comparing one-step M-estimates of location for heavy tailed distributions is proposed and investigated. Simulations indicate that the new procedure provides good control over Type I errors and has more power than do some other methods for dealing with heavy tailed distributions. (SLD)
