It is suggested that using an unbiased estimate of the weight matrix may eliminate the small or intermediate sample size bias of the asymptotically distribution-free (ADF) test statistic. Results of simulations show that test statistics based on the biased estimator or the unbiased estimate are highly similar. (SLD)
