Note on a Tukey test for ordered alternatives

Summary

In this note we consider a method proposed by Tukey [6], for detecting ordered alternatives amongk treatments in a randomized block design. A rank test obtained by this method is shown to be equivalent to a generalized sign test. The test is easily motivated and is quick and simple to compute, however its efficiency properties make it unattractive except for relatively smallk.
