Abstract
In lifeβtesting situations under bivariate normality of (X, U), a few smallest or a few largest Yβobservations may not be available. Tests for ΞΌ = 0 (mean vector) and o = 0 (correlation coefficient) are developed from the available Yβobservations and their concomitant Xβobservations. The robustness of these tests to departures from normality is investigated.

A statistic is proposed for testing hypotheses on the mean vector of a p-vanate normal distribution when the variance oovarianca matrix has an intraclase correlation structure. The powers of the test are computed and compared with thoee obtained from the statistics of Cox and I ~N (1982) and CLEMENT
