Rank-based procedures provide superior estimation and testing techniques when the data deviate from normality or contain gross outliers. However, these robust techniques are rarely incorporated in a nonparametric statistics or methods courses due to the lack of computational tools. One reason for this is the existence of certain unavoidable complexities in the numerical methods due to the absence of a closedform solution for the rank estimation problem. This article introduces a user interface, Web RGLM, which may be used to perform rank-based analyses of linear models across the World Wide Web. These models include simple location problems to complicated ANOVA …

The robustness and power of nine strategies for testing the differences between two groups’ regression slopes under nonnormality and residual variance heterogeneity are compared. The results showed that three most robust slope test strategies were the combination of the trimmed and Winsorized slopes with the James second order test, the combination of Theil-Sen with James, and Theil-Sen with percentile bootstrapping. The slope tests based on Theil-Sen slopes were more powerful than those based on trimmed and Winsorized slopes.
