19 ## For two samples @var{x} and @var{y}, perform a Mann-Whitney U-test of |
|
|
20 ## the null hypothesis PROB (@var{x} > @var{y}) == 1/2 == PROB (@var{x} |
|
|
21 ## < @var{y}). Under the null, the test statistic @var{z} approximately |
|
|
22 ## follows a standard normal distribution. Note that this test is |
|
|
23 ## equivalent to the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. |
|
3200
|
24 ## |
|
3454
|
25 ## With the optional argument string @var{alt}, the alternative of |
|
|
26 ## interest can be selected. If @var{alt} is @code{"!="} or |
|
|
27 ## @code{"<>"}, the null is tested against the two-sided alternative |
|
|
28 ## PROB (@var{x} > @var{y}) != 1/2. If @var{alt} is @code{">"}, the |
|
|
29 ## one-sided alternative PROB (@var{x} > @var{y}) > 1/2 is considered, |
|
|
30 ## similarly for @code{"<"}. The default is the two-sided case. |
|
3200
|
31 ## |
|

|
32 ## The p-value of the test is returned in @var{pval}. |
|

|

|
34 ## If no output argument is given, the p-value of the test is displayed. |
