Abstract
This article develops a two-sample nonparametric goodness-of-fit (GOF) test for uniform stochastic ordering (USO) when observations are taken in pairs. We propose a data-driven critical value that controls the type I error and yields a consistent test. A simulation study illustrates the finite-sample performance of our test. All the proofs are included in the supplemental file.
