A Monte Carlo study of rank tests for block designs

Pages 601-620 | Received 01 Sep 1986, Published online: 27 Jun 2007
 

Abstract

Tests based on ranks and the F-test are compared for block designs with n observations per block-treatment combination. Com-parisons are made on level of significance and on power. Rank tests examined include the Friedman as well as those using aligned ranks, weighted ranks, and the rank transformation. It is seen that the performance of these tests in relationship to each other depends on sample size, distribution of the random error term, and the severity of the block effects.
