This book is intended to give an account of the theory of infi nitely divisible statistical experiments which started from LeCam, 1974. It includes a presentation of LeCam's basic results as well as new developments in the field. The book consists of four chapters written by different authors. Chapters I, III and IV have been prepared in Bayreuth with the support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG); Chapter II is part of its author's Habilitationsschrift, 1982 (Dortmund). For the reader's convenience, the chapters have been unified in presentation, without neglecting differences in...

This monograph extends the notion of locally most powerful rank tests to non-regular cases. Through this no- tion one is led in a natural way to "non-standard" rank tests. A nearly complete analysis of the finite sample and asymptotic properties of such rank tests is presented. Also an adaptive test procedure is proposed and studied, and the results of a Monte Carlo simulation are given which provide strong evidence that it should perform well in many practical situations. An appendix derives the limit experiments needed to investigate the asymptotic optimality of these "non-standard" rank...
