Previously suggested methods for constructing confidence bands for cumulative distribution functions have been based on the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for an empirical distribution function.

Amusement park patrons, wanting to go on a log ride, might not have to wait in line at all, they might have to wait for hours, or the wait could be anywhere in between. For a random log rider, the ...

Let x and y be two random variables with continuous cumulative distribution functions f and g. A statistic U depending on the relative ranks of the x's and y's is proposed for testing the hypothesis f ...
