Popis: Results of a computer simulation study of power and robustness of three competitor tests for comparing scales, for use with correlated data: Rothstein, Richardson and Bell (RRB), Arvesen, and Pitman, are presented. It is found that unless one could improve the approximate null distributions for Arvesen's and Pitman's test, RRB's procedure is best, having simulated probabilities of Type I error closest to the test's nominal α and being reasonably robust and powerful, for all distributions considered.
