Asymptotic Relative Efficiencies of the Rank-Transformation Procedure in Randomized Complete Block Designs
随机完全区组设计中秩变换程序的渐近相对效率
This article provides insight into the powers of alternative tests for experimental effects in the presence of a blocking factor. Three rank tests and the usual F test are compared using asymptotic relative efficiencies (ARE's). Rank tests provide a useful alternative method of analysis when the assumptions of the F test are not met. Further, rank tests are usually more powerful than the F test when outliers are present or when the distribution of the data possesses heavy…
