The Kruskal¿Wallis tests are appropriate tests for the completely randomised design, both for when the data are untied ranks, and, with adjustment, for when there are ties and mid-ranks are used. Both these tests are shown to be Cochran¿Mantel¿Haenszel mean score tests. The relationship between the Kruskal¿Wallis test statistic and the ANOVA F test statistic when there are no ties generalises to the same relationship between the Cochran¿Mantel¿Haenszel mean score test statistic and the ANOVA F test statistic. It thus also relates both Kruskal¿Wallis test statistics to the ANOVA F test statistic. A small simulation study finds that p-values may be more accurately found using the F test.

A number of nonparametric tests are compared empirically for a randomized block layout. We assess tests appropriate for when the data are not consistent with normality or when outliers invalidate traditional analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests. The objective is to assess, within this setting, tests that use ranks within blocks, the rank transform procedure that ranks the complete sample and continuous analogs of the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests. The usual linear model is assumed, and our primary foci are tests of equality of means and component tests that assess linear and quadratic trends in the means. These tests include the traditional Page and Friedman tests. We conclude that the rank transform tests have competitive power and warrant greater use than is currently apparent.

For multifactor experimental designs in which the levels of at least one of the factors are ordered we show how to construct components that provide a deep nonparametric scrutiny of the data. The components assess generalised correlations and the resulting tests include and extend the Page and umbrella tests. Application of the tests described is straightforward. Orthonormal polynomials on the ANOVA responses and the factors are required and the formulae needed are given subsequently. These depend on the moments of the responses and of each factor and are easily calculated. Products of at least two of these orthonormal polynomials are then used as inputs into standard ANOVA routines. For example, using the first order orthonormal polynomial on factor A and the second order orthonormal polynomial on the ANOVA response will assess if, with increasing levels of factor A there is an umbrella response with either an increase and then a decrease or a decrease and then an increase.

© Grace Scientific Publishing, LLC. Data consisting of ranks within blocks are considered for randomized complete block layouts where treatment effects are expected to be ordered. Ranks with and without ties are considered, as well as missing values. A small indicative test size study indicates both a new test and the Page test, modified by Thas et al. (2012) to easily permit ties, perform well. An advantage of the new test is that it can be easily applied to data with missing values. Three real examples are given. One of these illustrates a quadratic trend test. Comparisons between the new test and the Alvo and Cabilio (1995) extended Page test for missing values are given.

Data consisting of ranks within blocks are considered for balanced incomplete block designs. An F test statistic from ANOVA is better approximated by an F distribution than the Durbin statistic is approximated by a chi-squared distribution. Indicative powers demonstrate that the F test is generally superior to Durbin's test.

Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test statistics can be used to compare products rated on JAR 'just about right' scales and for similar categorical data. In this note we consider the case of paired or related data. The simplified statistics we give allow 'by hand' calculation when the data set is small. We also give an R package for larger data sets or for when the user is not interested in 'by hand' calculation. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

In this fully revised and expanded edition of Smooth Tests of Goodness of Fit, the latest powerful techniques for assessing statistical and probabilistic models using this proven class of procedures are presented in a practical and easily accessible manner. Emphasis is placed on modern developments such as data-driven tests, diagnostic properties, and model selection techniques. Applicable to most statistical distributions, the methodology described in this book is optimal for deriving tests of fit for new distributions and complex probabilistic models, and is a standard against which new procedures should be compared. New features of the second edition include: Expansion of the methodology to cover virtually any statistical distribution, including exponential families. Discussion and application of data-driven smooth tests. Techniques for the selection of the best model for the data, with a guide to acceptable alternatives. Numerous new, revised, and expanded examples, generated using R code. Smooth Tests of Goodness of Fit is an invaluable resource for all methodological researchers as well as graduate students undertaking goodness-of-fit, statistical, and probabilistic model assessment courses. Practitioners wishing to make an informed choice of goodness-of-fit test will also find this book an indispensible guide. Reviews of the first edition: "This book gives a very readable account of the smooth tests of goodness of fit. The book can be read by scientists having only an introductory knowledge of statistics. It contains a fairly extensive list of references; research will find it helpful for the further development of smooth tests." --T.K. Chandra, Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete, Band 73, 1/92' "An excellent job of showing how smooth tests (a class of goodness of fit tests) are generally and easily applicable in assessing the validity of models involving statistical distributions....Highly recommended for undergraduate and graduate libraries." --Choice. "The book can be read by scientists having only an introductory knowledge of statistics. It contains a fairly extensive list of references; researchers will find it helpful for the further development of smooth tests."--Mathematical Reviews. "Very rich in examples . . . Should find its way to the desks of many statisticians." --Technometrics. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons (Asia) Pte Ltd.

This paper compares and investigates the generalised Neyman smooth test, its components, and the classical chi-squared test with a variety of equiprobable classes. Each test is evaluated in terms of its power to reject a wavelike alternative to the uniform distribution, chosen to quantify the complexity of the alternative. Results indicate that if broadly focused tests (rather than strongly directional or weakly omnibus) are sought, then smooth tests of order about four, or the chi-squared test with between five and ten classes, will perform well.

There are few techniques available for testing if modes take specified values. We show that standard tests of location such as the t-test and the Wilcoxon test, which test for the mean and median respectively, can perform poorly as tests for modes when the data is other than unimodal and symmetric. Carolan and Rayner [1] proposed a score test of location for symmetric nonnormal data. We consider a family of distributions similar to those considered by Carolan and Rayner [1] and propose a test for the mode or modes of data from multimodal or skewed distributions and demonstrate by way of simulations that it is reasonably effective.

For randomized block designs, nonparametric treatment comparisons are usually made using the Friedman test for complete designs, and the Durbin test for incomplete designs; see, for example, Conover (1998). This permits assessment of only the mean rankings.

Pearson's statistic is investigated for nominal-ordinal two-way contingency tables in which we wish to test for identical rows. The statistic is expressed as a sum, the first summand of which is a statistic given by Yates (1948), and examines location effects for the nominal category. The second and subsequent summands reflect the corresponding moments: for example, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis etc. The summands are shown to be weakly optimal in that they are score statistics. © Journal of Applied Mathematics & Decision Sciences.

The sample correlation coefficient R is almost universally used to estimate the population correlation coefficient p. If the pair (X, Y) has a bivariate normal distribution, this would not cause any trouble. However, if the marginals are nonnormal, particularly if they have high skewness and kurtosis, the estimated value from a sample may be quite different from the population correlation coefficient ¿. The bivariate lognormal is chosen as our case study for this robustness study. Two approaches are used: (i) by simulation and (ii) numerical computations. Our simulation analysis indicates that for the bivariate lognormal, the bias in estimating p¿ can be very large if ¿ ¿0, and it can be substantially reduced only after a large number (three to four million) of observations. This phenomenon, though unexpected at first, was found to be consistent to our findings by our numerical analysis. © Journal of Applied Mathematics & Decision Sciences.

The data for the tests considered here may be presented in two-way contingency tables with all marginal totals fixed. We show that Pearson's test statistic XP2 (P for Pearson) may be partitioned into useful and informative components. The first detects location differences between the treatments, and the subsequent components detect dispersion and higher order moment differences. For Kruskal-Wallis-type data when there are no ties, the location component is the Kruskal-Wallis test. The subsequent components are the extensions. Our approach enables us to generalise to when there are ties, and to when there is a fixed number of categories and a large number of observations. We also propose a generalisation of the well-known median test. In this situation the location-detecting first component of X P2 reduces to the usual median test statistic when there are only two categories. Subsequent components detect higher moment departures from the null hypothesis of equal treatment effects. © Journal of Applied Mathematics & Decision Sciences.

A theorem of Rayner & Best (1989) is generalised to permit the construction of smooth tests of goodness of fit without requiring a set of orthonormal functions on the hypothesised distribution. This result is used to construct smooth tests for the bivariate Poisson distribution. The test due to Crockett (1979) is similar to a smooth test that assesses the variance structure under the bivariate Poisson model; the test due to Loukas & Kemp (1986) is related to a smooth test that seeks to detect a particular linear relationship between the variances and covariance under the bivariate Poisson model. Using focused smooth tests may be more informative than using previously suggested tests. The distribution of the Loukas & Kemp (1986) statistic is not well approximated by the x2distribution for larger correlations, and a revised statistic is suggested. Copyright © 1995, Wiley Blackwell.

A basic assumption in the analysis of variance is that the observations are realisations of a univariate normal distribution. However, if the observations are rounded, the question arises of how this affects the usual tests. Rayner, Dodds and Best (1986) considered a one factor fixed effects model with regard to simulated sizes and approximate asymptotic relative efficiencies. Here asymptotic relative efficiencies are considered for a three factor mixed effects model. The method generalises readily to other ANOVA models. © 1988 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The redundant hypergeometric distribution results from a model similar to that for the ordinary hypergeometric, but where selections are made ¿redundantly¿. The distribution has applications in the area of statistical physics. However, the probability function is elementary and standard properties may be derived by familiar techniques. We anticipate therefore that the main use of the distribution may be as a source of novel but tractable exercises. © 1987 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

The Wald, likelihood ratio, and score statistics have been calculated for the Behrens¿Fisher problem. These statistics provide asymptotically equivalent and weakly optimal tests. The test based on the Wald statistic was found to be very similar to the V test discussed by Welch (1937); hence the V test was compared with the likelihood ratio and score tests in a power study. Since the powers were very similar and the V test was more convenient to use from several points of view, we recommend this test. Sizes of the V test, as well as a power comparison with the usual pooled t test, were also obtained. © 1987 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Suppose we wish to test whether data are consistent with a completely specified continuous distribution against a general alternative. Familiar omnibus tests are PEARSON'S X2 test and NEYMAN'S smooth test. Fundamental problems in the application of these tests are the construction and number of classes to use for X2, and the choice of the order of the NEYMAN smooth test. This paper examines these questions. Copyright © 1985, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved

In finding the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of a multivariate normal distribution, the following derivation first diagonalizes the covariance matrix and then maximizes the likelihood by the choice of the elements of the transformed mean and the latent roots of the covariance matrix. Multivariate calculus is used to verify quickly and simply that the likelihood is indeed maximized. © 1985 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The chi-squared goodness of fit test (also known as the PearsonX2test) is often used to test whether data are consistent with a specified continuous distribution. The value of X2(and hence its associated probability level) can be altered by the choice of (i) the number of classes and (ii) the class probabilities. The effect on the power of the X2test of varying the number of classes when class probabilities are chosen to be equal is investigated. Copyright © 1981, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved

Hühn's notion of optimal sample size for the ¿2 goodness of fit test is discussed. It involves minimising the achievable level of the test subject to a given nominal level. This ignores the power of the competing tests and can lead to an ¿optimal¿ test that is uniformly less powerful than all the competing tests considered. Copyright © 1981 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
