The asymptotic distributions of these statistics are recently provided. However, when the sample size is small, it is not appropriate to use the asymptotic distribution of the robustified $t$-test statistics for making a statistical inference including hypothesis testing, confidence interval, p-value, etc. \u0000In this article, through extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we obtain the empirical distributions of the robustified $t$-test statistics and their quantile values. Then these quantile values can be used for making a statistical inference.","PeriodicalId":192028,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Engineering & Management Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125748466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
