Abstract: In this thesis we propose permutation tests of previously developed statistics for the case of mixed paired and two-sample data. We also explore the different weighting schemes of previous tests to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each test. We compare the power and Type I error of our new tests and those previously developed through a simulation. Rank based statistics generally performed as well as if not better than parametric statistics for all distributions.
