Where Youden's extreme rank sum test is used, an early decision is often possible by performing the trials in sequence with the following method. After each trial is completed, the greatest lower bound and least upper bound of both extreme rank sums are calculated for all remaining trials. If the critical regions cover either or both intervals of the statistics or the intervals lie completely outside the critical regions, the round-robin test is terminated with the acceptance of the proper hypothesis.
