Distribution-Free Statistical Tests

As a result of an extensive survey of the literature, a large number of distribution-free statistical tests are examined. Tests are grouped together primarily according to general type of mathematical derivation or type of statistical "information" used in'conducting the test. Each of the more important tests is treated under the headings: Rationale, Null Hypothesis, Assumptions, Treatment of Ties, Efficiency, Application, Discussion, Tables, and Sources. Derivations are given and mathematical interrelationships among the tests are indicated. Strengths and weaknesses of individual tests, and of distribution-free tests as a class compared to parametric tests, are discussed.
