  <dc:title>Nonparametric ANCOVA Methods</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package npANCOVA version 0.2.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>
    Nonparametric methods for analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) are
    distribution-free and provide a flexible statistical framework for
    situations where the assumptions of parametric ANCOVA are violated
    or when the response variable is ordinal. This package implements
    several well-known nonparametric ANCOVA procedures, including Quade,
    Puri and Sen, McSweeney and Porter, Burnett and Barr, Hettmansperger
    and McKean, Shirley, and Puri-Sen-Harwell-Serlin. The package provides
    user-friendly functions to apply these methods in practice.
	These methods are described in Olejnik et al. (1985) 
	&lt;doi:10.1177/0193841X8500900104&gt; and Harwell et al. (1988)
