This paper considers the consistency of the two-sample empty cell test suggested by S. S. Wilks [2]. A description of this test is as follows: Let a sample of n1 independent observations be taken from a population whose cumulative distribution function F1(x) is continuous, but 1 otherwise unknown. Let X(1) < X(2) < … < X(n1) be their order statistics. Let a second sample of n2 observations be taken from a population whose cumulative distribution function is F2(x), assumed continuous, but otherwise unknown.
