Abstract
We show how to use computer algebra for computing exact distributions of nonparametric test statistics. We give several examples of nonparametric statistics with explicit probability-generating functions that can be handled this way. In particular, we give a new table of critical values of the Jonckheere–Terpstra test that extends previous tables.
