متن کاملMann-Whitney Test for Associated Sequences
Let {X1, . . . , Xm} and {Y1, . . . , Yn} be two samples independent of each other, but the random variables within each sample are stationary associated with one dimensional marginal distribution functions F and G, respectively. We study the properties of the classical WilcoxonMann-Whitney statistic for testing for stochastic dominance in the above set up.
متن کاملCombinatorics, 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...
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 کاملImage Retrieval Using Relevance Feedback Based on Mann-Whitney Test
In CBIR system, relevance feedback is used to improve the retrieval performance. In this paper, a new MannWhitney test based method is presented to identify the features which can distinguish relevant and irrelevant images in a retrieved set. Then the discriminating features are given more emphasis to improve retrieval performance. Proposed scheme is implemented for two different similarity mea...
