Reproducibility Probability Estimation for the Wilcoxon-Rank-Sum Test
نویسنده
چکیده
Riassunto: La stima della probabilità di riproducibilità (RP) di una significatività statistica consiste nella stima a posteriori della potenza, ed è un indicatore dell’affidabilità dei risultati dei test statistici. Si analizzano qui alcuni metodi per la stima, puntuale e per intervalli, della RP per il test di Wilcoxon, e si comparano tramite uno studio di simulazione. Si evince che la soluzione bootstrap fornisce risultati migliori di quella basata sulla normalità asintotica.

An extension of the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test for complex sample survey data.
In complex survey sampling, a fraction of a finite population is sampled. Often, the survey is conducted so that each subject in the population has a different probability of being selected into the sample. Further, many complex surveys involve stratification and clustering. For generalizability of the sample to the finite population, these features of the design are usually incorporated in the...
متن کاملSocial choice violations in rank sum scoring: A formalization of conditions and corrective probability computations
Rank sum scoring is a popular manner by which to obtain group rankings from events that are individual in nature. For example, rank sum scoring is employed in cross country team competition, the Putnam Mathematics Team Competition, snowboard cross team competition, snowboard half-pipe team competition, and snowboard slopestyle team competition. It also forms the basis for a non-parametric stati...
متن کاملSome Observations on the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test
This manuscript presents some general comments about the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Even the most casual reader will gather that I am not too impressed with the scientific usefulness of the Wilcoxon test. However, the actual motivation is more to illustrate differences between parametric, semiparametric, and nonparametric (distribution-free) inference, and to use this example to illustrate how man...
متن کاملThe Two-sample Rank-sum Test: Early Development
The historical development of the two-sample rank-sum test is explored. While most textbooks and journal articles attribute the origin of the two-sample rank-sum test to Wilcoxon (1945) and/or Mann and Whitney (1947), the test was independently developed by at least six researchers in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In addition to Wilcoxon and Mann and Whitney, Festinger (1946), Whitfield (1947...
متن کاملIncorporation of clustering effects for the Wilcoxon rank sum test: a large-sample approach.
The Wilcoxon rank sum test is frequently used in statistical practice for the comparison of measures of location when the underlying distributions are far from normal or not known in advance. An assumption of the ordinary rank sum test is that individual sampling units are independent. In many ophthalmologic clinical trials, the Early Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy Scale (ETDRS) is a princi...
