Summary
In the 2×2 split plot design there are given rank tests for the classical hypotheses of the main effects and interaction.
The asymptotic normality of the proposed teststatistics is proved and their consistency is investigated. For testing the main effects these methods cannot be extended on the generala×b split plot design Counter-examples are given.
