Abstract:

This paper describes modifications of the sequential, two-sample, within-group, rank tests developed earlier. A modified, configural rank test is discussed in some detail and is a procedure based on rerankings of observations as new groups of observations are obtained sequentially. A numerical application is given. Monte Carlo results are presented on the modified, configural rank test and compared with earlier studies. Proofs of termination of the test are reported and outstanding unsolved problems noted. Author
