The Wilconon test polynomial: wilcoxonp

### 8.4.18 The Wilconon test polynomial: wilcoxonp

The wilcoxonp command will compute the polynomial for the Wilcoxon or Mann-Whitney test; it can take one or two parameters. If you enter

wilcoxonp(4)

you will get

poly1[1/16,1/16,1/16,1/8,1/8,1/8,1/8,1/8,1/16,1/16,1/16]

and if you enter

wilcoxonp(4,3)

you will get

poly1[1/35,1/35,2/35,3/35,4/35,4/35,1/7,4/35,4/35,3/35,2/35,1/35,1/35]

#### The Wilcoxon/Mann-Whitney statistic: wilcoxons

Given two lists, or one list and a real number (a median), the wilcoxons command will return the Wilcoxon or Mann-Whitney statistic. If you enter

wilcoxons([1,3,4,5,7,8,8,12,15,17],10)

you will get

18

and if you enter

wilcoxons([1,3,4,5,7,8,8,12,15,17],[2,6,10,11,13,14,15,18,19,20])

you will get

128.5

#### The Wilcoxon or Mann-Whitney test: wilcoxont

The wilcoxont command will perform the Wilcoxon or Mann-Whitney test, given two samples or one sample and a number (a median). It can additionally take an optional third argument of a function and an optional fourth argument of a real number. If you enter

wilcoxont([1,2,3,4,5,7,8,8,12,15,17],[2,6,10,11,13,14,15,18,19,20])

you will get

       Mann-Whitney 2-sample test, H0 same Median, H1 <>
       ranksum 93.0, shifted ranksum 27.0
       u1=83 ,u2=27, u=min(u1,u2)=27

    \end{center}
    you will get

and if you enter

wilcoxont([1,3,4,5,7,8,8,12,15,17] ,10,‘>‘,0.05)

you will get
