TLDR
In this paper, the authors compare two new approximations with the usual x2 and F large sample approximings for the one-way Kruskal-Wallis test statistic.
Abstract
The Friedman (1937) test for the randomized complete block design is used to test the hypothesis of no treatment effect among k treatments with b blocks. Difficulty in determination of the size of the critical region for this hypothesis is com¬pounded by the facts that (1) the most recent extension of exact tables for the distribution of the test statistic by Odeh (1977) go up only to the case with k6 and b6, and (2) the usual chi-square approximation is grossly inaccurate for most commonly used combinations of (k,b). The purpose of this paper 2 is to compare two new approximations with the usual x2 and F large sample approximations. This work represents an extension to the two-way layout of work done earlier by the authors for the one-way Kruskal-Wallis test statistic.

Statistical Comparisons of Classifiers over Multiple Data Sets

TL;DR: A set of simple, yet safe and robust non-parametric tests for statistical comparisons of classifiers is recommended: the Wilcoxon signed ranks test for comparison of two classifiers and the Friedman test with the corresponding post-hoc tests for comparisons of more classifiers over multiple data sets.

Rank Transformations as a Bridge between Parametric and Nonparametric Statistics

TL;DR: Rank as mentioned in this paper is a nonparametric procedure that is applied to the ranks of the data instead of to the data themselves, and it can be viewed as a useful tool for developing non-parametric procedures to solve new problems.
