Dear all, The other day I was reading this post [1] that slightly surprised me: "To reject the null of no correlation, an hypothsis test based on the normal distribution. If normality is not the base assumption your working from then p-values, significance tests and conf. intervals dont mean much (the value of the coefficient is not reliable) " (BOB SAMOHYL). To me this implied that in

Dear list I am comparing the results of several different experimental setups. With kruskal.test() I can test if there is any difference at all in any of them, if I understand it correctly. But now, when there is a difference, how do I generate a (half-) table of pairwise comparisons, using e.g. wilcox.test(), to find the ones where the difference actually occurs. I guess I don't have to

Hi * i'm trying to do my statistical analysis with R (on a debianGNULinux) i've installed R and now i'll try to import my data from .xls Where to search for non parametric test in R ? I'm studing neurons velocity and i've to check if after the perfusion with a factor x the velocity changes but as my variable is not normally ditributed i've to try with non parametric

Hi I have data from an experiment that used a repeated-measures factorial 2x2 design (i.e. each participant contributed data to both levels of both factors). I need a non-parametric version of the repeated-measures factorial ANOVA to analyse the data. SPSS only has non-parametric tests for one-way ANOVAs but I have been told that the test I need can be implemented using the R software.

Can anyone suggest a good non-parametric test, and an R implementation of the test, that allows for two or more factors? Wilcoxon signed rank allows for only one.

Please forgive a stats question. I have to sets of data (unpaired) measured on an ordinal scale. I want to test to see if the two sets are different (i.e. do they have the same location): set1: 1,3,2,2,4,3,3,2,2 set: 4,4,4,3,3,5,4,4 What is the most appropriate non-parametric test to test location?

I am new to R and have two scripts written slightly different but should to relatively the same thing but my lack of experience with the program I can not figure out the what I need to do to correct it. The first script gives me a consistent mean fold change values with every run but can generate negative p values for some. For the second version of the script, the fold changes seem to be very

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
