Abstract

When investigating the limiting joint distribution of a pair of random variables, it is possible to proceed by studying the associated marginal and conditional distributions. A useful extension of some previous work in this area of Sethuraman is presented by considering the important case when one is conditioning on a lattice-type random variable. The results are applied to obtain, in a simple manner, the limiting distribution of a linear-signed rank statistic.
