two sample problem; rank order statistics; simple random walk; exact distributions
Summary:
The distributions of rank order statistics are studied for the case of arbitrary sample sizes in the two sample problem. The method applied is a generalization of Dwass's method from his paper in Ann. Math. Statist. 38 (1967), based on the analogy of rank order statistics and functions on a simple random walk.
