The ART test of interaction: a robust and powerful rank test of interaction in factorial models

Simulations are used to show that the ART (Aligned Ranks Transformation) procedure,when testing for interaction, is robust and almost as powerful as the F-test when the data satisfy the classical assumptions. When these assumptions are violated the ART test is significantly more powerful than the F-test.
