Case for omitting tied observations in the two-sample t-test and the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Test

An improved ranked set two-sample Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test

The authors present an improved ranked set two-sample Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test for a location shift between samples from two distributions F and G. They define a function that measures the amount of information provided by each observation from the two samples, given the actual joint ranking of all the units in a set. This information function is used as a guide for improving the Pitman effic...

Combinatorics, Computer Algebra and Wilcoxon-mann-whitney Test

We show the combinatorics behind the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney two-sample test. This yields new combinatorial proofs of recurrences for its null distribution given recently by Brus and Chang, as well as new recurrences. It is shown how to convert these recurrences into generating functions. These generating functions are used to obtain closed expressions for the null distribution when one of the sa...

the test for adverse selection in life insurance market: the case of mellat insurance company

انتخاب نامساعد یکی از مشکلات اساسی در صنعت بیمه است. که ابتدا در سال 1960، توسط روتشیلد واستیگلیتز مورد بحث ومطالعه قرار گرفت ازآن موقع تاکنون بسیاری از پژوهشگران مدل های مختلفی را برای تجزیه و تحلیل تقاضا برای صنعت بیمه عمر که تماما ناشی از عدم قطعیت در این صنعت میباشد انجام داده اند .وهدف از آن پیدا کردن شرایطی است که تحت آن شرایط انتخاب یا کنار گذاشتن یک بیمه گزار به نفع و یا زیان شرکت بیمه ...

Comparing Two Independent Groups Via a Quantile Generalization of the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Test

unifiedWMWqPCR: the unified Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test for analyzing RT-qPCR data in R

MOTIVATION Recently, De Neve et al. proposed a modification of the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney (WMW) test for assessing differential expression based on RT-qPCR data. Their test, referred to as the unified WMW (uWMW) test, incorporates a robust and intuitive normalization and quantifies the probability that the expression from one treatment group exceeds the expression from another treatment group. H...
