A FORTRAN program to perform the nonparametric Terpstra-Jonckheere test

Abstract

The present FORTRAN program performs the nonparametric Terpstra-Jonckheere test of significance on ordered alternatives. The program is short, simple and easy to use and can be implemented on any machine including a desk-top microcomputer. When groups are ordered, the test provides more power than the Kruskal-Wallis H-test and similar multiple comparison tests.
