β¦ Synopsis
Two distribution-free permutation techniques are described for the analysis of ecological data. These methods are completely data dependent and provide analyses for the commonly-encountered completely-randomized and randomized-block designs in a multivariate framework. Euclidean distance forms the basis of both techniques, providing consistency with the observed distribution of data in many ecological studies.

Work sampling is an observational technique that produces counts representing the number of times that an individual has been observed performing each of several tasks. These data are collected using either systematic or random times of observation, and typically exhibit correlation between repeated
## Abstract The exact generalization of GEHAN's (1965) twoβsample test for arbitrarily censored survival data has been overlooked by subsequent work on the multisample problem. We give this general covariance matrix and show how it may be used in test procedures. While this permutation test is less
Data from ecological and biomonitoring studies are sometimes dicult to make inferences from owing to the high dimensionality of the data, the lack of normality and other problems. One approach for testing which has interested researchers is the randomization method. A general approach is based on re
