An extension of the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test for analyzing RT-qPCR data.
Classical approaches for analyzing reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) data commonly require normalization before assessing differential expression (DE). Normalization often has a substantial effect on the interpretation and validity of the subsequent analysis steps, but at the same time it causes a reduction in variance and introduces dependence among the nor...
متن کاملAn 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...
متن کاملWhen t-tests or Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests won't do.
t-Tests are widely used by researchers to compare the average values of a numeric outcome between two groups. If there are doubts about the suitability of the data for the requirements of a t-test, most notably the distribution being non-normal, the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test may be used instead. However, although often applied, both tests may be invalid when discrete and/or extremely skew data...
متن کاملOptimizing Classi er Performance Via the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Statistic
Cross entropy and mean squared error are typical cost functions used to optimize classi er performance. The goal of the optimization is usually to achieve the best correct classi cation rate. However, for many two-class real-world problems, the ROC curve is a more meaningful performance measure. We demonstrate that minimizing cross entropy or mean squared error does not necessarily maximize the...
متن کاملThe Mann Whitney Wilcoxon Distribution Using Linked Lists
We give an improved algorithm for calculating the exact null distribution of the two sample Mann Whitney Wilcoxon rank sum statistic. The algorithm modifies the update method of Smid using a minimal linked list which directs calculation of only those intermediate probabilities required for the final value. Using an efficient shortened representation of the list of required intermediate values, ...
