Abstract
Recently the authors have proposed tests for the one-sample and the κ-sample problem, and a test for independence. All three tests are based on sample space
partitions, but they were originally developed in different papers. Here we give an
overview of the construction of these tests, stressing the common underlying concept of “sample space partitions.”
