One-sample distribution-free test statistic V(n,k) sensitive to location differences

A location sensitive one—sample test V(n,n) similar to the Wilcoxon two—sample test was proposed by Riedwyl (1967) and stuided by Carnal and Riedwyl (1972). A generalization for grouped data was given by Maag, Streit and Drouilly (1973). In the present paper we discuss the application of the test for grouped data. We present a table of the significance limits and discuss the approximation by means of the normal distribution.
