Abstract
We construct a procedure to test the stochastic order of two samples of interval-valued data. We propose a test statistic that belongs to a U-statistic and derive its asymptotic distribution under the null hypothesis. We compare the performance of the newly proposed method with the existing one-sided bivariate Kolmogorov-Smirnov test using real data and simulated data.
