GIRALDO HENAO, RAMÓN  and  CORZO SALAMANCA, JIMMY. A Similarity Test between Two Dichotomic Ordered Sequences. Rev.Colomb.Estad. [online]. 2010, vol.33, n.1, pp.149-166. ISSN 0120-1751.

We propose a test for the hypothesis of similarity between dichotomic ordered sequences. A simulation study was carried out to estimate the power of the proposed test. It is shown that the test maintain its size under the null hypothesis and that its power increase with the considered alternative hypothesis. In addition the proposed test is as powerful as the sign test and overtakes the antiruns test and the Wilcoxon test.

Keywords : Similarity; Dichotomous data; Power of a test.
