Hi all, I have uploaded an update of the interval package, which calculates nonparametric maximum likelihood estimates (NPMLE) of distributions and exact or asymptotic weighted logrank-type tests for interval censored data. An important part of the update is that now the default initial estimate of the NPMLE uses the MLEcens package and is much faster. This increases the speed of the logrank-type

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 =

Hi all, I just uploaded a new version of the bpcp package. It calculates confidence intervals for a survival distribution for right-censored data using the newly developed beta product confidence procedure. Previously developed methods can have substantial error rate inflation for the lower limit, especially at the right end of the curves when there are small numbers of events. The bpcp method

Given the following data, and hypothesized median M.0 I've found a method to implement the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Data: (with one zero difference and tied ranks) x <- c(136, 103, 91, 122, 96, 145, 140, 138, 126, 120, 99, 125, 91,142, 119, 137) M.0 <- 119 > library(exactRankTests) Package ?exactRankTests? is no longer under development. Please consider using package ?coin?

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

Dear All, is there a stratified version of the Wilcoxon test (also known as van Elteren test) available in R? I could find it in the survdiff function of the survival package for censored data. I think, it should be possible to use this function creating a dummy censoring indicator and setting it to not censored, but may be there is a better way to perform the test. Thanks, Heinz T??chler

I need to perform the Exact Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney on a subset of my database. Assuming that IPPO is my data frame and IPPOBIS is the subset my variable still have 3 different levels and the function wilcox_test (package "coin") does not accept it. I do not know how to overcome this problem. ippo <- c(rep("A",10),rep("B",10),rep("C",10)) ippo2 <-

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

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

Anyone know if coin can run a permutation test based on a (user-defined) statistic other than the mean difference? The function independence_test does the permutation t-test via difference in means. I'm wondering if it's possible to use independence_test to run a permutation test for some other statistic than the difference in means. For example, I'd like to run a permutation test

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

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

I am using "apply" to run exact permutation t-tests by columns using the coin package. For example: library(coin) dat <- matrix(rnorm(7*35),7,35) fun <- function(x) { pvalue( independence_test(x~f, data=data.frame(x, f=factor(c(rep("a",4),rep("b",3)))), distribution = "exact")) } p.vals <- apply(dat, 2, fun) Some small-scale

Hi, The poisson.test function from stats package does not pass the conf.level p= arameter for the two-sample test. Here is an example: poisson.test(c(2,4),c(20,14),conf.level=3D.95)$conf.int poisson.test(c(2,4),c(20,14),conf.level=3D.9)$conf.int Here is the solution, change: RVAL <- binom.test(x, sum(x), r * T[1]/(r * T[1] + T[2]), alternative =3D alternative) to:

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

Dear useRs, There is a new version 0.1-2 of the package surv2sample available on CRAN. Users of the previous versions should update because a bug in the function cif2.ks has been fixed. General information about the package: surv2sample provides various two-sample tests for right-censored survival data. Three main areas and corresponding methods are: * comparison of two survival
