similar to: Wilcoxon signed-ranks test using package coin ?

I have a question concerning the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and specifically, which R subroutine I should use for my particular dataset. There are three different commands in R (that I'm aware of) that calculate the Wilcoxon signed-rank test; wilcox.test, wilcox.exact, and wilcoxsign_test. When I run the three commands on the same dataset, I get different p-values. I'm hoping that

Hi, R allows me to run a one sample Wilcoxon test like this: wilcox.test(c(1,3.5,2.1,4,1.5,5), mu=2, exact=TRUE) The function 'wilcoxsign_test' from the package 'coin' should (I suppose) be able to calculate exact p values even if there are ties in the ranks. However, I couldn't find information on how to run a one sample test using 'wilcoxsign_test' like in the

Dear List, after updating the exactRanksumTests package I receive a warning that the package is not developed any further and that one should consider the coin package. I don't find the signed rank test in the coin package, only the Wilcoxon Mann Whitney U-Test. I only found a signed rank test in the stats package (wilcox.test) which is able to calculate the exact pvalues but unfortunately

Hi, I am running the following example which can be found on page 12 of the pdf file of COIN package wt<-wilcox_test(pd~age,data=water_transfer,distribution="exact", conf.int=TRUE) "wt" actually contains the estimate of difference in location and the confidence interval of it. I am just wondering how can I extract these values? From the examples, I understand that the

Hi, I'm trying to run a permutation test on paired samples. First I tried the package "exactRankTests": require("exactRankTests") x <- c(1.83,0.50,1.62,2.48,1.68,1.88,1.55,3.06,1.30) y <- c(0.878,0.647,0.598,2.05,1.06,1.29,1.06,3.14,1.29) wilcox.test(x,y,paired = TRUE,alternative = "greater") perm.test(y,x,paired = TRUE,exact = TRUE,alternative =

Using the package ?exactRankTests? one can execute a one-sample permutation test for a hypothesized location parameter of 0 like: perm.test(rnorm(30,0)) The package ?exactRankTests? seems now to be deprecated in favor of the ?coin? package which as I understand is a superset of ?exactRankTests? in terms of functionality. The ?coin? package allows one to run a two-sample permutation test using

Hi. I'm going to introduce the R-package for a group of medical doctors later this week and is a little confused about there use of a test named "willcoxon-pratt" for testing if the clinical and biochemical markers has decreased significantly after the use of some drugs for a group of patients. Looking into the R-functions I would in R recommand using a matched-pairs Wilcoxon

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

Full_Name: Patrick Hodgson Version: 2.0 OS: solaris 2.9 Submission from: (NULL) (65.94.128.161) The value reported for the parameter W in the function wilcox.exact appears to be incorrect. I have checked the reference in the help file for this function (Myles & Hollander 1973, as well as 2nd ed. 1999 by same authors) and it is clear that W is the sum of the ranks of the data set with the

An earlier post had posed the question: "Does anybody know what is relation between 'T' value calculated by 'wilcox_test' function (coin package) and more common 'W' value?" I found the question interesting and ran the commands in R and SPSS. The W reported by R did not seem to correspond to either Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon W or the Z which I have more

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 =

Dear R friends, here I write again about the wilcox.exact() problem. I want to compare two sets of categorical data, and in one case it says "negative length vectors not allowed", and in the other one I get the error "cannot allocate vector of length ...". On http://rapidshare.com/files/298621893/wilcox.exact_trouble.Rdata.html you can download the data that cause the

Help needed! Has anyone access to StatXact? I just hacked exact two-sided p-values for rank tests (for package exactDistr, which will move to CRAN/contrib as exactRankTests soon ;-) and would like to compare the results of my implementation to that of StatXact. Could someone please calculate the exact one-sided (both greater and less) and two-sided p-values? # Data from the StatXact-4 manual,

Hello, can someone please help me with coding a function for a bootstrap WMW test (package boot, R under Windows, version 1.6.2)?

Dear R-users, If you use the exact Wilcoxon test in the coin package, I would like make you aware of that SPSS/StatXact MAY perform a round-off before doing their exact Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (if you ever are unlucky enough not to use R). I have data from two treatments and was surprised to find that SPSS (15 under Windows) and R differed in their p-values (0.167 resp. 0.172). It turns out

Dear R friends, I want to compare two datasets and I get the message Error in .Call("cpermdist2", ma = as.integer(m), mb = as.integer(col), : negative length vectors are not allowed after specifying the exact test. I'm using the exactRankTests package. Do you suggest me using the coin library, or is there anything "wrong" with my data? Kind regards, David --

Hi all, I have a distribution, and take a sample of it. Then I compare that sample with the mean of the population like here in "Wilcoxon signed rank test with continuity correction": > wilcox.test(Sample,mu=mean(All), alt="two.sided") Wilcoxon signed rank test with continuity correction data: AlphaNoteOnsetDists V = 63855, p-value = 0.0002093 alternative hypothesis:

Hello, I am hoping someone could shed some light into the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test for me? In looking through Stats references, the Mann-Whitney U-test and the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test are statistically equivalent. When using the following dataset: m <- c(2.0863,2.1340,2.1008,1.9565,2.0413,NA,NA) f <- c(1.8938,1.9709,1.8613,2.0836,1.9485,2.0630,1.9143) and the wilcox.test command as

This is my first post to the mailing list and I guess it's a pretty stupid question but I can't figure it out. I hope this is the right forum for these kind of questions. Before I started using R I was using STATA to run a Wilcoxon signed-rank test on two variables. See data below:

Hello, I use t.test for normal distributed and wilcox.test for non-normal distributed samples. It is easy to write a function for t.test that calculates the effect size, because all parts of the formula are available from the t.test result: r = sqrt(t*t / (t*t + df)) However, for Wilcoxon tests, the formula for effect sizes is: r = Z / sqrt(N) I wonder how I can calculate the Z-score in R for
