A COMPARISON OF BOOTSTRAP AND MONTE CARLO APPROACHES TO TESTING FOR SYMMETRY IN THE HOUCK'S MODEL

The power of the Houck's model of asymmetry is examined via bootstrap and Monte Carlo techniques. The results of bootstrap and Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the power of the Houck's test for asymmetry depends on sample size, level of asymmetry and the amount of noise in the data ge...
