Abstract
We give classical saddlepoint approximations for the probability mass functions of two nonparametric test statistics, the Kendall’s tau coefficient and the Wilcoxon signed-rank statistic. Then, we provide numerical comparisons, by comparing the exact probabilities with the saddlepoint approximation, a large deviation local limit theorem, an Edgeworth expansion and a normal approximation.
