Comparing Rank Tests for Ordered Alternatives in Randomized Blocks
随机区组设计中有序备择下的秩检验比较
Two classes of rank tests are considered for ordered alternatives in a randomized block design with $k$ treatments and $n$ blocks: tests based on among-blocks rankings ($A$-tests) and tests based on within-blocks rankings ($W$-tests). Previous efficiency comparisons for fixed $k, n \rightarrow \infty$ under the normal distribution have indicated that $A$-tests are more sensitive. In the present paper it is shown that this behavior is not typical under other distributions.…
