Hello, I think I am right in saying that a 2 sample wilcox.test is equal to a 2 sample kruskal.test and a 2 sample t.test is equal to a 2 sample anova. This is also stated in the ?kruskal.test man page: The Wilcoxon rank sum test (wilcox.test) as the special case for two samples; lm together with anova for performing one-way location analysis under normality assumptions; with Student's t

Dear list! I work with multiple Kruskal-Wallis test (kruskalmc, package pgirmess), which evaluates differences in medians among groups (5 groups). A result of a test is significant differences among some groups, while median values are the same for 4 groups (using tapply). Why? p.s.: number of samples in groups vary from 50 to 4900. Thanks to all, OV .

Hello, I have some patient data for my masters thesis with three groups (n=16, 19 & 20) I have completed compiling the results of 7 tests, for which one of these tests the variances are unequal. I wish to perform an ANOVA between the three groups but for the one test with unequal variance (<0.001 by both bartlett and levene's test) I am not sure what to do. I thought i would run

Dear R users, I would like to know if there is a way in R to execute a post-hoc test (factor levels comparison, like Tukey for ANOVA) of a non-parametric analysis of variance with kruskal.test() function. I am comparing three different groups. The preliminary analysis using the kruskal-wallis-test show significance, but I still don''t know the relationship and the significance level

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:

Dear R users, I have a dataset with two variables: $esan - a grouping factor with 8 levels and $reus. I'd like to do wilcox.test on this dataset as sugested Weiwei here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-July/136627.html. I tried to adapt his recommendation but no succes. Can anyone help me?

Hi! I have been working several years with R but it's my first public question. I hope I'll be clear :) . This question is related to obtaining letter-based representation of non-parametric pairwise comparisons. I have a dataframe with this structure (but with quite more rows and cols): A B C factor 1 2 2 one 2 1 2 one 2 2 3 two 2 3 2 two 1 4 2 three 9 8 1 three I have no normality,

Hola. Hay alguna función que haga un Friedman test (digamos 4 tratamientos o tiempos relacionados/dependientes) y que después haga una comparación de un tratamiento contra el resto, digamos el primero, como un contratase simple, o un Dunnett? o simplemente ¿como hago un Dunnett para unos tratamientos relacionados? -- Antonio M [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi there, I am trying to do multiple pairwise Wilcoxon signed rank tests in a manner similar to: a <- c(runif(1000, min=1,max=50), rnorm(1000, 50), rnorm(1000, 49.9, 0.5), rgeom(1000, 0.5)) b <- c(rep("group_a", 1000), rep("group_b", 1000), rep("group_c", 1000), rep("group_d", 1000)) pairwise.wilcox.test(a, b, alternative="two.sided",

I am running a pairwise wilcoxon signed rank test, and I am not sure how to interpret the result. I would like to see if there is a difference between the values in conditions a and b. It doesn't seem possible to have a V = 0, but a significant p value. Am I doing something wrong? The command I used is this: wilcox.test(x=a$x,y=b$x,paired=TRUE) The output looks like this: Wilcoxon

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

Recently, I ran a series of Kruskal-Wallace tests [kruskal.test()] using by() to group by site Output is a list: >Herb.KW Herb.df$ID: 10-1 Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test data: Indicator_Rating by Year Kruskal-Wallis chi-squared = 15.24, df = 7, p-value = 0.03302 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Herb.df$ID: 18-1

Dear all, I run a kruskal wallis test and found significant results. Then, I conducted all pairwise comparisons and found no significant results. Could anyone please give me a hint as to why this happens or redirect me towards a specific web page where I can find more info? (I used alpha=5% and made no bonferroni or other correction for the pairwise comparisons) Thank you   Dr. Iasonas

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

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:

Hi all, The Kruskal-Wallis test is a generalization of the two-sample Mann-Whitney test to *k* samples. That being the case, the Kruskal-Wallis test with *k*=2 should give an identical p-value to the Mann-Whitney test, should it not? x1<-c(1:5) x2<-c(6,8,9,11) a<-wilcox.test(x1,x2,paired=FALSE) b<-kruskal.test(list(x1,x2),paired=FALSE) a$p.value [1] 0.01587302 b$p.value [1]

Well fellow R users, I throw myself on your mercy. Help me, the unworthy, satisfy my employer, the ungrateful. My feeble ramblings follow... I've searched R-Help, the R Website and done a GOOGLE without success for a one way ANOVA procedure to analyse data that are both non-normal in nature and which exhibit unequal variances and unequal sample sizes across the 4 treatment levels. My

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 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
