Note: 5,000 Monte Carlo simulations were conducted applying the pseudorandom numbers from MatLab R2010a. SRS(a,w) indicates the SRS test for a symbolization of a symbols and a length of w. BDS (a), (b), and (s) applied the Kanzler [46] optimal parameters, the Liu et al. [47] best parameters, and the Kanzler [46] simulated critical values for small sample.
Bold values refer to reasonable percentage of rejections considering the process and the critical values.
