Formulas for the Computation of the WILCOXON Test and other Rank Statistics

A simple program for the computation of the WILCOXON test is introduced, which is suitable for implementation on a programmable desk computer. The allocation of ranks Ri is not necessary (see BERCHTOLD, 1979). In an analogous manner any ranks respectively rank sums also can be calculated, so that any test criterion or statistical estimate called rank statistic, may be completely constituted by computer programs without explicitely ranging of values.
