The proposal of RYAN (1960) for multiple comparison procedures has not become well known despite of its universal applicability. Only his idea of adjusted levels has been used in a modified manner, cf. EINOT and GABRIEL (1975), WELSCH (1977), RAMSEY (1978). This article re‐introduces the procedure and demonstrates its broad applicability also as a nonparametric method. Above all an exact mathematical foundation is aspired. The case of ties in the ranks of samples has been taken into consideration.
