TL;DR
This note demonstrates that a partition-of-chi 2 method may give a more powerful nonparametric test, particularly when alternatives other than location shift are important.
Abstract
Scholz and Stephens (1987, Journal of the American Statistical Association 82, 918-924) proposed a nonparametric k-sample Anderson-Darling statistic for grouped data. This note demonstrates that a partition-of-chi 2 method may give a more powerful nonparametric test, particularly when alternatives other than location shift are important. A taste-test example provides motivation.

Taguchi's accumulation analysis method is shown to have reasonable power fordetecting important location effects; however, it is an unnecessarily complicated procedure for detecting dispersion effects.

Pearson's X2 and its components perform well in testing for clusters of disease in time and the rth of these components identifies a departure from uniformity in moments up to the rt and so helps describe the alternative, if any, to uniformity.
