Wilcoxon signed-rank test (non-parametric related measures test)

The test data can be specified in two forms:

• In long form, with y supplying the data, x specifying condition for each case and match determining which cases are related.
• In wide/repeated measures form, with y and x both supplying data with matching case order.

Parameters:

y : Var

Dependent variable. Alternatively, the first of two variables that are compared.

x : categorial

Model containing the cells which should be compared. Alternatively, the second of two varaibles that are compared.

c1 : str | tuple | None

Test condition (cell of x). c1 and c0 can be omitted if x only contains two cells, in which case cells will be used in alphabetical order.

c0 : str | tuple | None

Control condition (cell of x).

match : categorial

Units within which measurements are related (e.g. ‘subject’ in a within-subject comparison). If match is unspecified, it is assumed that y and x are two measurements with matched cases.

sub : None | index-array

Perform the test with a subset of the data.

ds : None | Dataset

If a Dataset is specified, all data-objects can be specified as names of Dataset variables.

tail : 0 | 1 | -1

Which tail of the t-distribution to consider: 0: both (two-tailed, default); 1: upper tail (one-tailed); -1: lower tail (one-tailed).

zero_method : str

How to handle zero differences (see scipy.stats.wilcoxon()).

correction : bool

Continuity correction (default False).

Notes

Based on scipy.stats.wilcoxon().

Attributes:

p : float

P-value.

tail : 0 | 1 | -1

Tailedness of the p value.

difference : Var

Difference values.

c1_mean : float

Mean of condition c1.

c0_mean : float

Mean of condition c0.
