Robust Ancova: Confidence Intervals That Have Some Specified Simultaneous Probability Coverage When There Is Curvature And Two Covariates, Rand Wilcox

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Consider the commonly occurring situation where the goal is to compare two independent groups and there are two covariates. Let Mj(X) be some conditional measure of location for the jth group associated with some random variable Y given X = (X1, X2). The goal is to H0: M1(X) = M2(X) for each X Ω in a manner that controls the probability of one or more Type I errors. An extant technique (method M1 here) addresses this goal without making any parametric assumption about Mj(X). However, a practical concern is that it does not provide enough detail regarding where the regression …
