1 The Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test by Chris Wild, University of Auckland The Wilcoxon rank-sum test is a nonparametric alternative to the twosample t-test which is based solely on the order in which the observations from the two samples fall. We will use the following as a running example. ...
Typically, the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test is used when the data in one or both samples are not normally distributed. Keep in mind, however, that the two-sample t-test is pretty robust to violations of normality and so a non-parametric test is only needed when the normality assumption is stron...

The p-value of Wilcoxon’s Rank-Sum one-tail test for test statisticWand sample sizesn1 andn2 is given by the formula PERM2DIST(MIN(W, W’),n1,n2, TRUE, FALSE). The critical value for any value of alpha is PERM2INV(α,n1,n2, FALSE). The two-tail test is given by 2*PERM2D...

This paper answers the long-standing question of whether the two-sided Wilcoxon rank test for equal sample sizes is unbiased against a location parameter family of distributions by giving a counterexample. It is also shown that the nonrandomized two-sided Wilcoxon test for equal sample sizes with...
the sum of a random variable, such as a set of ranks, is normally distributed as the number of sums increase. The Wilcoxon signed rank test applies rank values to paired comparison differences. Based on the central limit theorem, the sum of the signed ranks can be interpreted as a value ...
