Abstract: The fprank command tests the hypothesis that two independent groups are sampled from the same population using the robust rank-order test which is a useful alternative of the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test for non-normal populations with unequal variances. This test assumes neither normality, nor equal variances, nor equal shape.
