A Modified Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test for Paired Data
用于配对数据的修正 Wilcoxon 秩和检验
A function of the Wilcoxon rank sum statistic is proposed for testing the equality of the marginal distributions when sampling from a bivariate population. The test statistic is asymptotically nonparametric. A comparison is made between the test statistic and several parametric and nonparametric tests in terms of their Pitman relative efficiency and small-sample performance. The test statistic has power comparable to the paired t test when sampling from the bivariate normal…
