Abstract
Scholz and Stephens (1987, Journal of the American Statistical Associa tion 82, 918-924) proposed a nonparametric k-sample Anderson-Darling s tatistic for grouped data. This note demonstrates that a partition-of- chi(2) method may give a more powerful nonparametric test, particularl y when alternatives other than location shift are important. A taste-t est example provides motivation.
