Abstract
The rating problem arises very often in statistical surveys and a new approach for this problem is represented by the combination of uniform and binomial models. In the present work a simulation study is presented to prove the good power behavior of a permutation test on the covariates of a complex model, with more than one covariate. Moreover a discussion on the minimum sample size needed to perform such permutation test is also given.
