Keywords:
continuity of invariant statistics; translation invariant statistic; scale invariant statistics; joint distribution; marginal distribution
Summary:
The aim of this paper is to establish theorems on the absolute continuity of translation as well as scale invariant statistics in general, from which the related results by Hodges-Lehmann and Puri-Sen follow. The continuity relations between the joint cdf of a random vector and its marginal cdf's are also considered.
