Abstract

This chapter chronicles the development of permutation statistical methods from 1960 to 1979. This was a period that witnessed dramatic improvements in computer technology, a process that was integral to the development of permutation tests. Prior to 1960, computers were based on vacuum tubes and were large, slow, expensive, and availability was severely limited. Between 1960 and 1979 computers became based on transistors and were smaller, faster, more affordable, and more readily available to researchers. During this period, work on permutation tests fell primarily into three categories: writing algorithms that efficiently generated permutation sequences; designing exact permutation probability values for known statistics; and, for the first time, the development of statistics specifically designed for permutation methods.
