[R] Information about pairwise Wilcoxon Sum Rank Tests
Dear Sir or Madam My name is Gabriela Hoff and I and an R user. I am facing problems in finding detailed information about pairwise Wilcoxon Rank Sum Tests (pairwise.wilcox.test). I would like to understand better the way this test is performed and the calculation of p-value, especially the procedure used on the corrections for multiple testing. I do appreciate it a lot if you could send me information about that since I was unable to find those details in the R documentation. Best regards, -- Gabriela Hoff PhD in Nuclear Bioscience - Medical Physics Phone: +55 51 998714374 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

[R] Information about pairwise Wilcoxon Sum Rank Tests
Dear Gabriela Apologies if you have already tried this but: 1 - you can see the code which it uses by typing pairwise.wilcox.test at the command line. 2 - to find you more about the method of adjustment you need to follow the documentation for p.adjust 3 - you may also need to look into wilcox.test which pairwise.wilcox.test uses. If that does not help come back and tell us more about how far you have got so people know what else you need.
