Abstract
This paper considers the use of rank sums from a combined ranking of k independent samples in order to decide which populations differ. Such a procedure is suggested as a convenient alternative to making separate rankings for each pair of samples, and the two methods are compared. Asymptotic use of the normal tables is given and the treatment of ties is discussed. A numerical example is given.
