The Robustness of Some Procedures for the Two-Sample Location Problem — a Simulation Study (Concept)

A comprehensive simulation experiment is to be performed on the most important parametric and nonparametric procedures in order to gain some idea of the robustness of such procedures for comparing two means in respect of violation of the assumptions regarding distribution and (in)homogeneity of variance. The purpose of the study is to find out which of the tests investigated are “robust” and can therefore be recommended for practical application.
