The asymptotics of large deviation probabilities for two-sample non degenerate von Mises functionals and U- statistics of arbitrary degree is investigated. We find explicitly the main term of this asymptotics. Some examples motivated by nonparametric statistics are given. The result may be...

In this paper, we focus on and examine the empirical evidence of non- linearity in aggregate Canadian unemployment. Contrary to the conclusion reached in Murray et al. (1993), and using a corrected for bias simple non-parametric test (SNT), we reject the null hypothesis of a linear structure for...
