The goal of this study was to investigate the performance of Hall's transformation of the Brunner-Dette-Munk (BDM) and Welch-James (WJ) test statistics and Box-Cox's data transformation in factorial designs when normality and variance homogeneity assumptions were violated separately and jointly. On the basis of unweighted marginal means, we performed a simulation study to explore the operating characteristics of the methods proposed for a variety of distributions with small sample sizes. Monte Carlo simulation results showed that when data were sampled from symmetric distributions, the error rates of the original BDM and WJ tests were scarcely affected by the lack of normality and homogeneity of variance. In contrast, when data were sampled from skewed distributions, the original BDM and WJ rates were not well controlled. Under such circumstances, the results clearly revealed that Hall's transformation of the BDM and WJ tests provided generally better control of Type I error rates than did the same tests based on Box-Cox's data transformation. Among all the methods considered in this study, we also found that Hall's transformation of the BDM test yielded the best control of Type I errors, although it was often less powerful than either of the WJ tests when both approaches reasonably controlled the error rates.
