similar to: effect sizes for Wilcoxon tests

Dear R-forumites, I want to apply a Wilcoxon test on subsets of the data frame mydata, splitted using the myindice variable. When I send : wilcoxtest <- by(mydata, mydata$myindice, function(x) {wilcox_test(x$value~x$fact)}) I get : Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object "x" not found whereas wilcoxtest <- by(mydata, mydata$myindice, function(x)

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

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

Hi, I became a little bit confused when working with the Wilcoxon test in R. As far as I understood, there are mainly two versions: 1) wilcox.test{stats}, which is the default and an approximation, especially, when ties are involved 2) wilcox_test{coin}, which does calculate the distribution _exactly_ even, with ties. I have the following scenario: #---BeginCode--- # big example size = 60

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,

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, Two functions wilcox.exact and wilcox_test give slightly different confidence intervals of the difference of the medians: for example y<-c(0,0,1.081,0.594,0,0.769,0,0.009,0,0,0.798,0.405,0.498,0.946,1.35,1.149,0.528) x<-c(rep(1,10),rep(2,7)) aa<-wilcox.exact(y~x,conf.int=TRUE) bb<-wilcox_test(y~factor(x),distribution="exact",conf.int=TRUE) aa bb Does anyone know

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

Does anyone know why wilcox.exact gives W-statistic 6 instead of 12 as indicated below. 12 is the rank sum of group 0 of x, which is the linear statistic computed by wilcox_test. y<-c(1,2,3,4,5) x<-c(1,1,0,0,0) (a) wilcox.exact wilcox.exact(y~x) Exact Wilcoxon rank sum test data: y by x W = 6, p-value = 0.2 alternative hypothesis: true mu is not equal to 0 (b) wilcox_test

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

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 am using wilcox.test to test two samples, data_a and data_b, earch sample has 3 replicates, suppose data_a and data_b are 20*3 matrix. Then I used the following to test the null hypothesis (they are from same distribution.): wilcox.test(x=data_a, y=data_b, alternative="g") I got pvalue = 1.90806170863311e-09. When I switched data_a and data_b by doing the following:

Estimado José, por lo que estuve mirando aqui https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilcoxon_signed-rank_test, en ?wilcox.test y en libros de papel ... los datos deben cumplir ciertas condiciones, quiza la mas restrictiva es que sean pareados ... si no lo son, quiza esta variante del test es mas apropiada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon_test la que en R se aplica usando el mismo

Dear Sir, I am comparing two samples using wilcox.test in R. Literature appears to describe mann whitney u test as the most appropriate test to use on my data. is the wilcox.test function equivalent to mann-whitney u? Is there a way to gain the U-value as apposed to the W-value in R? Thank you

The function 'wilcox.test' in R and S gives (almost) identical results (see below). 'qwilcox' however, does not: > qwilcox(p,5,5) p: 0.025 0.975 -------------------- R> 3 22 S> 18 37 I originally wanted to ask a questions, but then I found the answer. Given the confusion I run into, I wonder if this experience is worth reporting. The

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

Full_Name: Marketa Kylouskova Version: 1.2.1 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (147.231.7.2) Hi, I believe there is a bug in the extension of wilcox.test, namely in determination of confidence intervals. I concentrated on the two-sample test only. I examined and tested its performance on this working data set: x<-rnorm(10,3,1) # So I have two samples, I will test whether

Hi all, I have a distribution, and take a sample of it.

Hi I have 2 sets of data that I want to do a Wilcoxon test on. They are of the same dimension. One has 4 zero values and the other has 5. > dim(SampA) [1] 1 10 > dim(SampV) [1] 1 10 I get the folowing error Error in wilcox.test.default(SampA, SampV, na.rm = TRUE, paired = FALSE, : 'x' must be numeric I am using the function wilcox.test(SampA, SampV, na.rm=TRUE,
