Configural frequency analysis (CFA) and other non-parametrical statistical methods

On the 8th of Mai 2001 Gustav A. Lienert passed away. After a life which he dedicated to science and methodology, we are not only losing a great scientist but also an outstanding teacher and mentor and, for a few lucky ones, a warmhearted friend. This compendium, which embraces nine contributions about non-parametrical statistics in general and Lienerts configural frequency analysis in particular, is published to honor G. A. Lienert in a way, he probably would have preferred most: showing that non-parametrical statistical analyses sensu Lienert are still modern and in use.
