- Description
- The Kruskal-Wallis tests are appropriate tests for the completely randomised design, both for when the data are untied ranks, and, with adjustment, for when there are ties and mid-ranks are used. Both these tests are shown to be Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel mean score tests. The relationship between the Kruskal-Wallis test statistic and the ANOVA F test statistic when there are no ties generalises to the same relationship between the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel mean score test statistic and the ANOVA F test statistic. It thus also relates both Kruskal-Wallis test statistics to the ANOVA F test statistic. A small simulation study finds that p-values may be more accurately found using the F test.
