Abstract

In the present paper various orderings on the space of permutations are studied in order to define some general decision rules used in methods of hypothesis formation; especially the question of monotonicity of rank statistics with respect to orderings defined is investigated as well as various relations between these orderings. Computational aspects are emphasized.
