Abstract

This paper presents a modified chi-square approximation to the distribution of test statistics arising from multivariate ranked data. The modification arises from an improvement to the estimated variance matrix of the responses and from corrections for continuity and skewness and kurtosis of the rank sum statistics.

Keywords: Multivariate Analysis; Nonparametric Testing; Asymptotic Approximation
