Dear Daniel and Sarah, Thanks you for your rude replies . The script that I provided was only an example and to illustrate the problem. It makes perfectly sense to use the Wilcoxon test on my datasets. However, you replies were nonsensical, since you could not solve the problem but rather just bullied me.
Anyway, this is the solution to the problem: the exact=TRUE statement should be added > w <- wilcox.test(c(1:50),(c(1:50)+100)) > w$p.value [1] 7.066072e-18 > w <- wilcox.test(c(1:50),(c(1:50)+100), exact=TRUE) > w$p.value [1] 1.982331e-29 Best regards, genecleaner -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/BIZARRE-results-from-wilcox-test-tp3597818p3598039.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
