Abstract
- In this paper we examine how well the asymptotic null distribution of a two sample test due to Lehmann approximates the small sample distribution of the test, compare the validity of this Lehman test with the validity of the two sample t test under the null hypothesis of equal means, and compare the power of this Lehmannn test with the power of the t test. Our general conclusion is that experimenters will prefer to use the t test when the underlying distribution is the scale contaminated compound normal distribution and the sample sizes are less than thirty.
