Abstract

In a paper by Abrahamson [1], it is shown that the Kuiper test generally performs better than the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test according to exact Bahadur relative efficiency. The present note concerns the Bahadur efficiency of a related test statistic $U_n$ whose exact null probability distribution is available in the two-sample case with equal sample sizes. It is shown that $U_n$ is often more efficient than the K-S test and may even be as efficient as the Kuiper test.
