The distributions of the statistics of parametric tests (Neyman–Pearson, O’Brien, Link, Newman, Bliss–Cochran–Tukey, Cadwell–Leslie–Brown, and the Overall–Woodward Z-variance and modified Z-variance tests) are studied, including the case in which the standard assumption of normality is violated. A comparative analysis of the power of the set of parametric tests is carried out.
