This has been shown to yield unreliable analyses. Use the more formal proportional odds ordinal logistic model. This is a generalization of the Wiloxon-Mann-Whitney-Kruskal-Wallis statistic. This is implemented in the rms package and elsewhere.

Colleagues

I am trying to replicate some analyses performing in SAS using a "rank ANCOVA 
model".  I assume that this is a non-parametric ANOVA with covariates but I have not 
been able to get confirmation from the people who did the original analyses.  Can anyone 
direct me to the comparable function for R?  Thanks in advance.

Not that it matters in this situation but the platform is OS X; R version is 
2.11.
