Summary
Durbin's distribution-free rank test can be used to test the null hypothesis that there are no differences among the treatments in a Balanced Incomplete Block Design. Until now only the chi-square and F approximations for the test statistic were known. In this paper the exact distribution has been given for 15 designs and comparison is made with the chi-square and F approximation.
