Wilcoxon nonparametric p-values
When I use wilcox.test, I get vastly different p-values than the problems
from Statistics textbooks.
For example:
The following problem comes from "Applied Statistics and Probability for
Engineers", 2nd Edition, by D. C. Montgomery. Page736, problem 14.7. The
problem is to compare the sample data with a population median of 8.5. The
book answer is p = 0.25, wilcox.test answer is p = 0.573.
I've tried several other similar problems with similar results. I've copied
the following directly from my workspace.
Thanks for any hel...
