Summary
TheSiegel-Tukey test is generalized so that it may be applied to more than two samples. Consequently, the originalT statistic [Wilcoxon] of theSiegel-Tukey test is to be replaced by theH statistic [Kruskal andWallis]. Differences in location are to be controlled. A numerical example is given.
Zusammenfassung
DerSiegel-Tukey-Test wird für die Anwendung auf mehr als zwei Stichproben verallgemeinert, wobei als Prüfgröße dieT-Statistic vonWilcoxon durch dieH-Statistik vonKruskal undWallis zu ersetzen ist. Allerdings müssen Lokations-differenzen kontrolliert werden. Ein numerisches Beispiel wird gegeben.
