Yes the critical values are different for the smaller sample for all our tests. Quite a lot of test statistics depend on assymptotic results for large samples but this isn't the case here. Trouble is journal referees often say things which aren't correct. But you still have to placate them. The problem is that the tests have low power which is the opposite issue to significance and this may be affected by the sample sixe and isn't addressed usually so I am suspicious of such a short stretch of data. I did those tests for the small sample and then found that the latest version of the software I just installed isn't printing out some of the stuff the old one did. Need to find if there is a good reason for that and then maybe write a new procedure to compute those stats.
