| Abstract: | Two nonparametric tests are proposed for the comparison of a paired sample of response curves with T congruent time points. The first procedure rank transforms each curve and tests the homogeneity of the resulting pair of averaged rank vectors. The second procedure rank transforms each pair of curves and tests the homogeneity of the related pair of averaged rank vectors. The first test detects only pure interactions; the second test checks if any difference exists between the rank curves. Both tests are presented in finite and asymptotic as well as in combined (by T singular tests) and multivariate form. |
