Introduction
As in [1] we will consider situations in which we have two sequences
of samples Al
=AllsA12"'.;
the order statistics in Aij
AZ =AZl,AZZ ".' respectively. We denote
by
Xijl S XijZ S ••• S Xijr ..
1)
( r ij is the number of observed values in Aij ).
For convenience "Ie will also use the notation
X·1 l
S
X.1 Z S
••• S
x.1r
i
for order statistics in a typical member of Ai
(i
= 1,2).
We further suppose that it is known that each sample in one of the two
sequences (it is not specified which one) is a complete random sample while
the other is a random sample which has been censored by removal of some
extreme observations.
We will denote the original sample or sequence by
placing a bar over the corresponding symbol - thus All would belong to

In [1] it was supposed that symmetrical censoring (removal of the s
greatest and s least values from an original complete random sample of
size
(r+2s)) had been used on one sequence.
In the present paper we will
consider censoring from above or below - for example, removal of the
greatest s
01'
the least s
random sample of size
(but not both) from an original complete
(r+s).
We will also consider a natural extension of a general purpose test of
extreme sample censoring (suggested in [2] for use when the proportions of
greatest and least values removed are tmknown) •
2. Censoring from Above or Below
For definiteness we will discuss censoring from
above~
in which the
greatest values are removed from a complete random sample of size
or more generally (rij + s).
The cumulative distribution
function~
(cdf)
(r+s)-
Fi(x), will be supposed
to be the same for each of the i-th pair of samples Ail and Ai2 • It
will be assumed to be absolutely continuous, with probability density
function f i (x) = dFi/dx.
We "rill also use F(x) for the cdf in a general pair of samples for
Al and AZ for convenience.

2.2 Population Distribution Not Known
Using the method described in section 3 of [1] we suppose that among
r l , r Z observed values from samples in sequences AI' AZ respectively
(with a common distribution) the GZ greatest are from AZ • Under HI '
there were originally
from which the greatest

If r l = r 2 = r
then the likelihood ratio is just
(8)
Since one of Gl
and
GZ must be zero (and the other positive) we see
that the likelihood ratio approach leads to the decision rule
"Accept Hi if Gi > 0

(9)

X
obtained from the approaah based on knowZedge of the population
distribution.
The probabilities of correct decision given in Table 1 thus apply, and
we see that in this case we appear to lose nothing by not knowing the
population distribution.
The situation is different when we have more than one sample in each
sequence (m>1) .

3. General Censoring of Extremes
If we do not know the numbers s Y, sYi of least and greatest observations removed from one of two samples (or from each sample in one of two
sequences) - though we do know that such removal has taken place from just
one of them, we carmot use the direct likelihood ratio approach.
obtaL~ed
Results
in [Z] suggest that we might use criteria based on quantities
D." = G.. + L""
J.J
J.J
1J
where GJ." J' (LJ.'J" )
is equal to the number of values among
the sample Aij which are greater(less) than any values inA 3_i ,j •
If we simply have one pair of samples (m=l) of equal size r, then
we would:
"Accept HI if Gl + Ll < GZ + LZ
Accept HZ if Gl + L1 > GZ + LZ
Reach.no decision if G1 + Ll = GZ + L 2 •Ii

This is the same test as that obtained in [1] (see (30' L page 13) for
the case
wh~n
the censoring is known to be symmetrical.
If m is greater than 1 ~ the value of Dij might be combined by
either multiplication or summations leading to the rules:

Neither of these rules is the same as that suggested for syrnmettical

the Appendix (equations (AlZ) and (A27) ). Numerical values for the
expected value and variance of (Dlj - DZj ) tmder HI are given in Table

value has its sign reversed (positive tmder HZ ' negative lUlder HI ).

The decision rule (16) is just as simple to apply as (17), but the
distribution theory associated with it is rather more complex.
We can examine the relationship between (16) and (17) in a simple case
(r=Z, s'=l, SIl=O)
by direct calculation of probabilities.
In this case
(~) = 10 possible configurations of the combined sample
there are
In seven of these Dl = DZ ; in two Dl = 0 and D2 = 2, and in
one Dl = 2 and DZ = O.
Now (16) and (17) each lead to acceptance of HI (which is valid
Al n A2 •
since s '>0 ) when there are more pairs of samples with one of the two
(Dl
= 0,
DZ = 0)
D2 = 2)
configurations than there are with the single
configuration.
(Dl = 2,
There will be no decision when the number of pairs
of samples is the same for each of the two types of configuration.

Of course, if in a sequence of sample pairs each of size 1 we had a
preponderance of pairs with Ll = 1 = GZ we would suspect tl1at one of the
two samples had been censored tmsymmetrically, but we would not be able to
decide which one.

Calculation of the moments of (D1-D2) from the joint distribution
of D1 and DZ does not seem to be as convenient as calculation using
indicator variables. This method is easily extended to the case when r 1
and r Z ~ the sample sizes in A1~ AZ respectively, are not necessarily
equal.
However, the appropriate test criteria would then be
different~
and so the results will not be given here.
Tukey [3] uses a test statistic (for differences between two samples)
which in our notation, would be defined as: - if 1.G
. ;t 0, the value of
1. 3- 1.
the statistic is (1i + G3- i ). (If 11G2 = 12Gl = 0, no value is assigned
•
to the statistic.) The reader may find the derivation of the distribution
of the statistic in [3] of interest.
