The Concept of Score of a Random Sample
Abstract
To any given random sample there may be assigned a number called its score and denoted by SC(r, (N sub os)), where r = the number of classes into which the space of the random variable has been divided and (N sub os) = the number of order statistics actually used. It is easily determined from the sample elements and offers some definite advantages as a test statistic for selecting the most probable population from which the given sample has been drawn. Its decision power tends with increasing r to the largest power attainable for the given sample size. By means of some versatile computer programs the sampling distributions for several combinations of r and (N sub os) have been determined. Tables have been prepared from which the probabilities of twelve different hypothetical populations can be immediately read and their acceptability stated.
