similar to: Hodges-lehmann test and CI/significance

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

The point estimates produced by wilcox.test are perverse (not wrong, just brain damaged). The Hodges-Lehmann estimator that goes with the signed rank test is the median of the Walsh averages. The Hodges-Lehmann estimator that goes with the rank sum test is the median of the pairwise differences. wilcox.test agrees except that it uses the following very peculiar definition of "sample

While using the Hodges Lehmann Mean in DescTools (DescTools::HodgesLehmann), I found that it generated incorrect answers (see <https://github.com/AndriSignorell/DescTools/issues/97> https://github.com/AndriSignorell/DescTools/issues/97). The error is driven by the existence of tied values forcing wilcox.test in Base R to switch to an approximate algorithm that returns incorrect results - see

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

Hi, I have a time series of 38 wintertime average snow depths measured at a particular meteorological station. The data appear to undergo a "climate shift" in the early 1980s: before the shift the mean and sd are 152 +/- 58, after the shift 92 +/- 36. The distribution is not normal; there's a hard limit at zero of course and there are outlier years with very high snowfall. I

Full_Name: David Wooff Version: 1.7.0 OS: i686-pc-linux-gnu Submission from: (NULL) (129.234.4.10) wilcox.test exits with error message when confidence interval required, under some situations. I suspect this occurs when the data contain a zero and for some data lengths only: print(wilcox.test(c(2,1,4,3,6,-5,0),conf.int=T)) fails print(wilcox.test(c(2,1,4,3,6,-5,0,1),conf.int=T)) works

Hi Everyone, Following the previous discussion on optimizing *wilcox functions, Andreas Loeffler brought to my attention a few other bugs in `wilcox` family functions. It seems like these issues have been discussed online in the past few months, but I haven?t seen discussion on R-devel...unless I missed an email, it seems like discussion never made it to the mailing list. I haven?t seen any bug

Hello, Gurus: I tried to test if the sample mean of a dataset is zero. The data has 1500 numbers with a lot of zeros and some small positive numbers. The data range on [0,1] but the distribution is unknown. It is zero inflated anyway. I tried to use the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test. But I read from this website that it does assume the population pdf is symmetric.

Hi all, I have being using wilcox.test to test for differences between 2 independent samples. I had understood the difference in location to be conventionally the difference in the sample medians however this is not the case when implemented in R. I have tied ranks and therefore non-exact p-value and confidence intervals are calculated due to the normal approximation. But what exactly is this

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 =

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

Dear R people, I notice that the confidence intervals of a very small sample (e.g. n=6) derived from the one-sample wilcox.test are just the maximum and minimum values of the sample. This only occurs when the required confidence level is higher than 0.93. Example: > sample <- c(1.22, 0.89, 1.14, 0.98, 1.37, 1.06) > summary(sample) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.

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

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,

Dear R friends, here I write again about the wilcox.exact() problem. I want to compare two sets of categorical data, and in one case it says "negative length vectors not allowed", and in the other one I get the error "cannot allocate vector of length ...". On http://rapidshare.com/files/298621893/wilcox.exact_trouble.Rdata.html you can download the data that cause the

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 R friends, I want to compare two datasets and I get the message Error in .Call("cpermdist2", ma = as.integer(m), mb = as.integer(col), : negative length vectors are not allowed after specifying the exact test. I'm using the exactRankTests package. Do you suggest me using the coin library, or is there anything "wrong" with my data? Kind regards, David --

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 =

Dear useRs is there any nonparametric test for the analysis of variance in a design with two within-factors (repeated measures on both factors)? Friedman is not appropriate here, therefore I am grateful for any alternative test. thanks for any hint cheers christoph --
