We investigate the power of some common change-point tests as a function of the location of the change-point. The test statistics are maxima of weighted U-statistics, with the CUSUM test and the Wilcoxon change-point test as special examples. We study the power under local alternatives, where we vary both the location of the change-point and the magnitude of the change. We quantify in which way weighted versions of the tests are more powerful when the change occurs near the beginning or the end of the time interval, while losing power against changes in the center.
