similar to: Problem with "Cannot compute correct p-values with ties"

Dear All, I defined a distribution and I want to test it by k-s test? How to input parameters for ks.test(.....)? E.g., F(x,m) is user-defined function x is observation value, m is parameter of F y is observation vector value in experiment > ks.test(y,"F",m=0.2) error.... why?

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 looking for a way to correct for ties in the wilcoxon signed rank test -> e.g. wilcox.test(x,mu=.5) one way i have heard of is to look up the p value in a table that has been produced by Buck (1975). obviously i need to know the T-value to do that -> how do i get the T-value from the wilcox.test() function. is there any other (already implemented) way to correct for ties in

Hi, When I execute a Wilcox u-test on two variables I receive a warning : 'cannot compute exact p-value with ties' - What are ties? What does this mean for my data? - Is that a problem for significance testing? - is there a way to overcome this problem? I have different threads in this forum but it hard to find what the exact meaning of this warning message is. -- View this message in

Hoping you guys might be able to help me out, I''m not sure what''s wrong but puppet agent hangs for over a minute, no resource spikes (CPU, memory, etc all stay basically the same as without starting puppet, barely a blip, and I''ve got more than enough headroom). It''s not a serious issue for continuous usage, but really, really annoying when testing the manifests

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

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

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

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 r-helpers, I have a small dataset (n<50), and I want to compute the Hodges Lehmann exact confidence interval. So far, I know that "pairwiseCI" has the function "HL.diff". The description is as follows : HL.diff calculates the Hodges-Lehmann confidence interval for the difference of locations by calling wilcox.exact in package exactRankTests ; But when I check

Hello, Writing to share some things I've found about wilcox.test() that seem a a bit inconsistent. 1. Inf values are not removed if paired=TRUE # returns different results (Inf is removed): wilcox.test(c(1,2,3,4), c(0,9,8,7)) wilcox.test(c(1,2,3,4), c(0,9,8,Inf)) # returns the same result (Inf is left as value with highest rank): wilcox.test(c(1,2,3,4), c(0,9,8,7), paired=TRUE)

Thank you for a fast response. Nice to see this mailing list being so alive. Regarding Inf issue: I agree with your assessment that Inf should not be removed. The code gave me an impression that Inf values were intentionally removed (since is.finite() was used everywhere, except for paired case). I will try to adjust my patch according to your feedback. One more thing: it seems like you

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

I get these BIZARRE results from wilcox.test() When INCREASING the number of samples i get INCREASED p-values. When increasing the number of samples further, the p-values goes down again. This seems really bizarre! Can anyone explain why this is so?! Example: > w <- wilcox.test(c(1:40),(c(1:40)+100)) > w$p.value [1] 1.860340e-23 > w <- wilcox.test(c(1:50),(c(1:50)+100)) >

I'm working on a quick tutorial for my students, and was planning on using Mann-Whitney U as one of the tests. I have the following (fake) data grade <- c("MVG", "VG", "VG", "G", "MVG", "G", "VG", "G", "VG") sex <- c( "male", "male", "female", "male",

I've finally developed what I think is a general solution to the problem of building existing Windows programs with clang: https://github.com/russellw/wic Using this, I've managed to run attempted builds of Python, Ruby and Perl. Python 2.7 works - it generates a python.exe that at least passes a preliminary smoke test. Perl generates an executable that crashes partway through the

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 =

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:
