A Comparison Of The D’Agostino S_U Test To The Triples Test For Testing Of Symmetry Versus Asymmetry As A Preliminary Test To Testing The Equality Of Means, Kimberly T. Perry, Michael R. Stoline
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
This paper evaluates the D’Agostino SU test and the Triples test for testing symmetry versus asymmetry. These procedures are evaluated as preliminary tests in the selection of the most appropriate procedure for testing the equality of means with two independent samples under a variety of symmetric and asymmetric sampling situations. Key words: symmetry; asymmetry; preliminary testing.
