In this paper we report the simulation procedure along with new, precise, and accurate critical values or percentage points (with 4 decimal places; standard error of the mean ≤0.0001) for six Dixon discordance tests with signifi cance levels α = 0.30, 0.20, 0.10, 0.05, 0.02, 0.01, 0.005 and for normal samples of sizes n up to 100. Prior to our work, critical values (with 3 decimal places) were ...
