β¦ Synopsis
A computer simulation study waa carried out to assess the performance of the test for seasonality of HE^ et aI. with monthly incidence rates. This test can be very powerful against an allnus1 sinusoidal pattern. The test's power agaiust a semi-annual sinusoidal pattern or against a "onepulse" pattern is very small for the parameter values considered in this study.

A new statistic A to test the hypothesis of a difference in the dispersion of two dependent samples of ordinal data quality is proposed. It draws on the idea of rank assignment originally forwarded by SIEGBL and TWEY (1960). No exact probability levels can be given for this statistic for the time be
The nonparametric Behrens-Fisher hypothesis is the most appropriate null hypothesis for the two-sample comparison when one does not wish to make restrictive assumptions about possible distributions. In this paper, a numerical approach is described by which the likelihood ratio test can be calculated
