L'etat actuel du probleme de Behrens-Fisher

  • Published:
Trabajos de Estadistica

Resumen

El problema de contrastar la hipótesis de que la diferencia de las medias de dos poblaciones normales, está comprendida en el intervalo (a, b), conociendo una muestra de cada una de las antedichas poblaciones, constituye el problema de Berhens-Fisher.

Se estudia, en primer lugar, la solución pseudocondicional de Behrens, la qual se presta maravillosamente a una reinterpretación en términos de la distribución fiduciaria, debida a Fisher. Más tarde se comparan estos resultados con las soluciones aproximadas de la teoría clásica, y finalmente, se generaliza a poblaciones no normales; a poblaciones con la misma media, etc.
