The Mann}Whitney ;-test is ubiquitous in statistical practice for the comparison of measures of location for two samples where the assumption of normality is questionable. Frequently, one has replicate data for each individual in a group and would like to compare measures of central tendency between
An algorithm is proposed for the computation of the Mann-Whitney Test which only requires the separate ordering of the individual samples and is therefore more suitable than the usual one. It is also more suitable as t o computation time than the algorithm described by KUMMER, 1981, if the two sampl
## Abstract For the case of the LEHMANN alternatives the paper presents some new facts on the MANN‐WHITNEY statistic and, in particular, its variance __V(p, m, n)__, where __p = P(x__~__i__~<__y__~i~). Explicit formulas for __U__ and __V__ are used to prove, among other things, the following propos
