Description
The first edition of
Theory of Rank Tests (1967) has been the precursor to a unified and theoretically motivated treatise
of the basic theory of tests based on ranks of the sample observations. For more than 25 years, it helped raise a generation of statisticians
in cultivating their theoretical research in this fertile area, as well as in using these tools in their application oriented research.
The present edition not only aims to revive this classical text by updating the findings but also by incorporating several other important
areas which were either not properly developed before 1965 or have gone through an evolutionary development during the past 30 years.
This edition therefore aims to fulfill the needs of academic as well as professional statisticians who want to pursue nonparametrics
in their academic projects, consultation, and applied research works.
