In this article a general univariate K ‐sample rank test for complete block designs with proportional cell frequencies is derived. It is shown that the test statistic has under H 0 and for arbitrary scores asymptotically a X 2 ‐distribution with K — 1 degrees of freedom. Special cases of this test are the Kruskal‐Wallis test and the Friedman test. The test is compared with the Benard‐van‐Elteren test, the Mack‐Skillings test and a test proposed by Downton. Finally the application of the test is illustrated by two examples.
