曼惠特尼u检验 matlab,采用Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon检验

Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test

This file executes the non parametric Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test to evaluate the difference between unpaired samples. If the number of combinations is less than 20000, the algorithm calculate the exact ranks distribution; else it uses a normal distribution approximation. The result is not different from

RANKSUM MatLab function, but there are more output informations. There is an alternative formulation of this test that yields a statistic commonly denoted by U. Also the U statistic is computed.

Syntax: STATS=MWWTEST(X1,X2)

Inputs:

X1 and X2 - data vectors.

Outputs:

- T and U values and p-value when exact ranks distribution is used.

- T and U values, mean, standard deviation, Z value, and p-value when normal distribution is used.

If STATS nargout was specified the results will be stored in the STATS struct.

Example:

X1=[181 183 170 173 174 179 172 175 178 176 158 179 180 172 177];

X2=[168 165 163 175 176 166 163 174 175 173 179 180 176 167 176];

Calling on Matlab the function: mwwtest(X1,X2)

Answer is:

MANN-WHITNEY-WILCOXON TEST
