| Abstract: | Several statistics are proposed for testing the hypothesis of equality of the means of bivariate normal distribution with unknown variances and correlation coefficient when observations are missing on both variatea. The null distributions of the statistics are approximated by well-known distributions. The empirical sizes and powers of the statistics are computed and compared with paired t test and some of the known statistics based on available data. The comparisons support the use of two of the statistics proposed in this paper. |
