Wilcoxon signed rank test for imprecise observations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This article extends the Wilcoxon signed rank test for testing whether the median of a population is a specified constant by treating the observations as imprecise values. The test procedure is developed by using the concepts of “Credibility Theory” for studying the behavior of fuzzy phenomena. Numerical illustration of the proposed test is provided by representing the observations as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers.

A Generalization of Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test
In this paper, we consider applying the Wilcoxon’s idea for the construction of the one-sample problem to the two-sample case. For this, we show that the location translation parameter becomes a median of the distribution of the difference of two independent random variables under the location translation model. Based on this fact, we construct generalized signed-rank statistics for the two sam...
متن کاملA combination of Wilcoxon test and R-estimates for document organization and retrieval
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is exploited for document organization and retrieval in this paper. A novel modeling method for documents and a distance metric between documents are proposed. Both document modeling and document comparisons are based on signed-ranks and are applied to the frequency of occurrence of the document bigrams. A metric using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test exploits these s...
متن کاملThe Comparisons of Cerebral Hemodynamics Induced by Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Arousal and Periodic Limb Movement with Arousal: A Pilot NIRS Study
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) with periodic limb movement during sleep (PLMS) are two sleep disorders characterized by repetitive respiratory or movement events associated with cortical arousals. We compared the cerebral hemodynamic changes linked to periodic apneas/hypopneas with arousals (AHA) in four OSA-patients with periodic limb movements (PLMA) w...
متن کاملThe Wilcoxon signed rank test for paired comparisons of clustered data.
The Wilcoxon signed rank test is a frequently used nonparametric test for paired data (e.g., consisting of pre- and posttreatment measurements) based on independent units of analysis. This test cannot be used for paired comparisons arising from clustered data (e.g., if paired comparisons are available for each of two eyes of an individual). To incorporate clustering, a generalization of the ran...
متن کاملNAG Fortran Library Routine Document G08AGF
The Wilcoxon one-sample signed rank test may be used to test whether a particular sample came from a population with a specified median. It is assumed that the population distribution is symmetric. The data consists of a single sample of n observations denoted by x1; x2; . . . ; xn. This sample may arise from the difference between pairs of observations from two matched samples of equal size ta...
