Nonparametric tests of the unbiasedness of Olympic figure skating judgements
We use recently developed nonparametric tests for orthogonality to test the null hypothesis of an absence of national bias in the judging of Olympic figure-skating events. The results, and accompanying parametric estimates, offer strong evidence of a small bias which changes little across time. There is also some evidence that the bias is more marked for skaters who are medal contenders than for less strong competitors.
