Abstract
A summary of historical development of successive difference tests is given, and graphs and tables of percentage points are presented. A new ratio is described and evaluated, and the validity of Normal approximations (for this and the original ratio) are examined. Practical applications are described, with both simulated and real examples.Keywords
