Uniform randomization of ties is required for defining distribution-free ranks of independent and identically distributed quantized samples. Formulas of rank probabilities are given and applied to radar detection under quantized video samples. For some detectors, and assuming Gaussian noise, the asymptotic loss L/sub infinity /(q) is calculated versus the normalized quantization step q, and the loss L(q) is estimated by Monte Carlo simulations. Both of these resulted in monotonic functions of q (0<0.8. The quantization step q is normalized with respect to the noise standard deviation.<>
