A Reaction to "Consequences of Failure to Meet Assumptions Underlying the Fixed Effects Analysis of Variance and Covariance."
Blair, R. Clifford
Review of Educational Research, v51 n4 p499-507 Win 1981
The author contends Glass, Peckham, and Sanders erred in discouraging the use of nonparametric counterparts of the t-test, even when it was known data were sampled from skewed distributions. He believes Wilcoxon's rank-sum test has power properties that make it preferable in most nonnormal population situations. (Author/DWH)
