SignedRankTest[{data1,data2}]

tests whether the median of data1-data2 is zero.

Details and Options Examplesopen all close all Basic Examples  (4)

Test whether the median of a population is zero:

Compare the median difference for paired data to a particular value:

Report the test results in a table:

Test whether the spatial median of a multivariate population is some value:

Compute the test statistic:

Create a HypothesisTestData object for repeated property extraction:

A list of available properties:

Extract a single property or a list of properties:

Scope  (13) Testing  (10)

Test versus :

The -values are typically large when the median is close to μ0:

The -values are typically small when the location is far from μ0:

Using Automatic is equivalent to testing for a median of zero:

Test versus :

The -values are typically large when median is close to μ0:

The -values are typically small when the location is far from μ0:

Test whether the median vector of a multivariate population is the zero vector:

Alternatively, test against {0.1,0,-.5,0}:

Test versus :

The -values are generally small when the locations are not equal:

The -values are generally large when the locations are equal:

Test versus :

The order of the datasets affects the test results:

Test whether the median difference vector of two multivariate populations is the zero vector:

Alternatively, test against {1,0,-1,0}:

Create a HypothesisTestData object for repeated property extraction:

The properties available for extraction:

Extract some properties from a HypothesisTestData object:

The -value and test statistic:

Extract any number of properties simultaneously:

The -value and test statistic:

Reporting  (3)

Tabulate the test results:

Retrieve the entries from a test table for customized reporting:

Tabulate -values or test statistics:

The -value from the table:

The test statistic from the table:

Options  (12) AlternativeHypothesis  (3)

A two-sided test is performed by default:

Test versus :

Perform a two-sided test or a one-sided alternative:

Test versus :

Test versus :

Test versus :

Perform tests with one-sided alternatives when μ0 is given:

Test versus :

Test versus :

MaxIterations  (2)

Set the maximum number of iterations to use for multivariate tests:

By default, 500 iterations are allowed:

Setting the maximum number of iterations may result in lack of convergence:

The -values are not equivalent:

Method  (4)

By default, -values are computed using asymptotic test statistic distributions:

Permutation methods can be used:

Set the number of permutations to use:

By default, random permutations are used:

Set the seed used for generating random permutations:

SignificanceLevel  (1)

The significance level is used for "TestConclusion" and "ShortTestConclusion":

VerifyTestAssumptions  (2)

Diagnostics can be controlled as a group using All or None:

Verify all assumptions:

Check no assumptions:

Diagnostics can be controlled independently:

Check for symmetry:

Set the symmetry assumption to True:

Applications  (1)

Twelve sets of identical twins were given psychological tests to measure aggressiveness. It is hypothesized that the first-born twin will tend to be more aggressive than the second-born:

There is insufficient evidence to reject that birth order has no effect on aggressiveness:

Properties & Relations  (8)

The SignedRankTest is generally more powerful than the SignTest:

The univariate Wilcoxon signed rank test statistic:

In the absence of ties, Ordering can be used to compute ranks:

The asymptotic two-sided -value:

For univariate data, the test statistic is asymptotically normal:

For multivariate data, the test statistic follows a ChiSquareDistribution under :

The degree of freedom is equal to the dimension of the data:

For multivariate data, the SignedRankTest effectively tests uniformity about a unit sphere:

A function for computing the spatial signed ranks of a matrix:

Deviations from μ0 yield clustering of spatial signed ranks and larger test statistics:

The test statistic is affine invariant for multivariate data:

The signed rank test works with the values only when the input is a TimeSeries:

The signed rank test works with all the values together when the input is a TemporalData:

Test all the values only:

Test the difference of the medians of the two paths:

Possible Issues  (1)

SignedRankTest requires that the data be symmetric about a common median:

Use SignTest if the data is not symmetric:

Neat Examples  (1)

Compute the statistic when the null hypothesis is true:

The test statistic given a particular alternative:

Compare the distributions of the test statistics:
