the objective of this study was to compare non-parametric stability procedures, and to apply different non-parametric tests for genotype × environment interaction (g×e) on seed yield data of 17 chickpea genotypes grown during 2004-05 growing seasons in 10 rainfed environments in iran. the non-parametric measures used for g × e interaction were highly significant (p

The application of ergonomics in product design is essential to its accessibility and usability. The development of manual devices should be based on ergonomic principles. Effort perception analysis is an essential approach to understand the physical and subjective aspects of the interface. The objective of the present study was to analyze the effort perception during a simulated task with diff...

Scholz and Stephens (1987, Journal of the American Statistical Association 82, 918-924) proposed a nonparametric k-sample Anderson-Darling statistic for grouped data. This note demonstrates that a partition-of-chi 2 method may give a more powerful nonparametric test, particularly when alternatives other than location shift are important. A taste-test example provides motivation.

The paper concerns nonparametric test procedures for detection of a change in the distribution of a sequence independent observations Their limit properties are presented. 2000 Mathematical Subject Class: 62G20, 62E20, 60G10
