The Kruskal-Wallis Test
Kruskal-Wallis test
A nonparametric test that can be used to determine whether three or more independent samples were selected from populations having the same distribution.
The null and alternative hypotheses for the Kruskal-Wallis test are always similar to these statements.
H0: All of the populations have the same distribution.
Ha: At least one population has a distribution that
is different from the others.

The Kruskal-Wallis Test
Two conditions for using the Kruskal-Wallis test are
Samples must be random and independent.
The size of each sample must be at least 5.
If these conditions are met, then the sampling distribution for the Kruskal-Wallis test is approximated by a chi-square distribution with k – 1 degrees of freedom, where k is the number of samples.

The Kruskal-Wallis Test
Test Statistic for the Kruskal-Wallis Test
For three or more independent samples, the test statistic, H, for the Kruskal-Wallis test is
where
k represent the number of samples,
ni is the size of the ith sample,
N is the sum of the sample sizes, and
Ri is the sum of the ranks of the ith sample.
