Abstract
In the several samples location problem, it is usually of interest to present estimates of treatment effects along with the test. The spatial Hodges-Lehniann estimators (Delta) over cap (ij) of tile differences between treatments i and j are apparent companions to a multivariate Kruskal-Wallis test. However, these estimators generally fail to satisfy tile property (Delta) over cap (ij) = (Delta) over cap (ik) + (Delta) over cap (kj) , making them incompatible with each other. In this paper we consider adjusted estimators possessing this property. A simulation study is carried out in order to study their finite sample efficiencies. Limiting distributions and efficiencies are presented as well. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
