\description{Xin Gao's non-parametric multiple test procedure is applied to Data. 
The procedure controls the FWER in the strong sense. Here, only the Many-To-One comparisons are computed.}
\details{This function computes Xin Gao's nonparametric multiple test procedures in an unbalanced one way layout. 
It is based upon the following purely nonparametric effects: 
Let \eqn{F_i} denote the distribution function of sample \eqn{i, i=1,\ldots,a,} and let \eqn{G} denote the mean distribution function
of all distribution functions \eqn{(G=1/a\sum_i F_i)}. The effects \eqn{p_i=\int GdF_i} are called unweighted relative effects. If \eqn{p_i>1/2}, the random
variables from sample \eqn{i} tend (stochastically) to larger values than any randomly chosen number 
from the whole experiment. If \eqn{p_i = 1/2}, there is no tendency to smaller nor larger values. However,
this approach tests the hypothesis \eqn{H_0^F: F_1=F_j, j=2,\ldots,a} formulated in terms of the
distribution functions, simultaneously.}
\value{A list containing:
