Statistics.WilcoxonSign Function

Performs two-sample Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test by comparing Data1 and Data2 medians.

Pascal
function WilcoxonSign(const Data1: TVec; const Data2: TVec; out hRes: THypothesisResult; out Signif: double; var ConfInt: TTwoElmReal; const hType: THypothesisType = htTwoTailed; const Alpha: double = 0.05): double; overload;
Parameters 
Description 
Data1 
First set of data from which to compute the median. 
Data2 
Second set of data from which to compute the median. 
hRes 
Returns the result of the null hypothesis (default assumption is that the means are equal). 
Signif 
(Significance level) returns the probability of observing the given result by chance given that the null hypothesis is true. 
ConfInt 
Returns the 100*(1-Alpha) percent confidence interval for the mean. 
hType 
Defines the type of the null hypothesis (left, right and two - tailed). 
Alpha 
Defines the desired significance level. If the significance probability (Signif) is bellow the desired significance (Alpha), the null hypothesis is rejected. 

The Wilcoxon W statistics.

The routine tests the null hypothesis that Data1 and Data2 have equal median value.
