Dear All, I have two simple data samples (no groups or factors, etc.) and would just like to compute the two-sample Wilcoxon Rank Sum test using the wilcox_test function contained in the coin package, which is reportedly better than the regular wilcox.test function because it performs some adjustment for ties. Would anyone know how to craft a script to perform this task? Much appreciated. Janh

Okay, so I am trying to embrace the RESTful approach to web application design and wanted to get some feedback from others. I understand that it can be done different ways, I''m just interested to see what real RESTful theorists think. Lets say that you have an application that has lists and items on that list. I can see how both lists and items can be set up as resources. Now, lets say you want to have an action to both show you the current sorted list* and then allow you to save a new sort. You would need a custom G...

...emerging multisite recording and noninvasive imaging techniques. The second involves the development of a calculus to study the dynamical behavior of nervous systems and the computations they perform. A distinguishing feature of the work group is a close collaboration between experimentalists and theorists with regard to the analysis of data and the planning of experiments. The work group will have a limited number of research lectures, supplemented by tutorials on relevant computational, experimental, and mathematical techniques. The topics covered in the workgroup will maintain continuity with pa...

I''ve tried to have 2 methods of the same name (but with different parameter signatures) and it always seems like the later declaration tends to win out, does this mean that ruby does not support overloading? If so what aboutt the .new method? You can either call it as .new (with nothing) or .new(hash variable). Is it possible to override a specific instance of the zero parameter
