Abstract

The Wilcoxon-Mann-Witney test is extended to account for a second independent factor. The new test statistic's probability mass function and normal approximation are derived. Critical-values for balanced, unbalanced, and large sample designs are given. The immediate extension of this method to a wide range of non-parametric tests is explained.
