Abstract

We show that the commonly used linear rank tests for independence have certain continuity properties with respect to the score functions which are applied to the ranks. Using these properties, we derive the asymptotic normality of the test statistics under general conditions. These conditions are closely related to those under which simple linear rank statistics are known to be asymptotically normal.
