Exact tables of Spearman's footrule for \(N=11(1)18\) with estimate of convergence and errors for the normal approximation (Q1102065)

Spearman's footrule, D, is the sum of the absolute values of the differences between the ranks in two rankings of n objects. For the case of equally likely permutations, tables of the exact cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) of D are given for 11\(\leq n\leq 18\). The maximum difference between the exact c.d.f. for D and the normal approximation is given as well as the maximum difference between the exact c.d.f. for D and the normal approximation with correction for continuity.
