In the present paper, the genus Apotrechus Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1888 is revised. Two new species from China are described and illustrated: Apotrechusquadratus sp. n. and Apotrechustruncatolobus sp. n.. A new key and the distributional data are given.

We investigate rank-based studentized permutation methods for the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem, i.e. inference methods for the area under the ROC-curve (AUC). We hereby prove that the studentized permutation distribution of the Brunner-Munzel rank statistic is asymptotically standard normal, even under the alternative. This does not only imply consistency of the corresponding permutatio...

We consider some multiple comparison problems in repeated measures designs for data with ties, particularly ordinal data; the methods are also applicable to continuous data, with or without ties. A unified asymptotic theory of rank tests of Brunner, Puri and Sen (1995) and Akritas and Brunner (1997) is utilized to derive large sample multiple comparison procedures (MCP’s). First, we consider a ...

It is a great pleasure for me to discuss the essay by Karl Brunner; this continues a tradition of discussing each other’s work that dates back at least a decade. Much of Brunner’s massive survey is admirable, reflecting a deep and careful analysis of central issues in fiscal policy, and the way events have changed perceptions of fiscal policy. The comprehensive and up-to-date reference list add...
