On the combination of the sign and Maesono tests for simmetry and its efficiency

We propose a new test for the simmetry hypothesis which is a combination of the sign statistic and the Wr Maesono statistic. The latter generalizes the Wilcoxon statistic and coincides with it for r = 2. The proposed statistic belongs to the class of non-degenerate U-statistics and hence it has asym...
