Nonparametric tests for interaction and group differences in a two-way layout.
Nonparametric tests of group differences and interaction across strata are developed in which the null hypotheses for these tests are expressed as functions of rho i = P(X > Y) + 1/2P(X = Y), where X refers to a random observation from one group and Y refers to a random observation from the other group within stratum i. The estimator r of the parameter rho is shown to be a useful way to summarize and examine data for ordinal and continuous data.
