ABSTRACT
This paper introduces rank tests of the Chernoff-Savage type for the two-sample problem with random sample sizes. We do not assume that the sample sizes are independent of the observations. Using the strong approximation theorems of the Hungarian construction, we obtain the asymptotic theory of some related processes and the limiting null distribution of the test statistic.
