Hello!

I need to use Kruskal-Wallis test and post-hoc test (Dunn's test) for my data. But when I searched around, I only found this function: kruskal.test. But nothing for Dunn's test.

So I started to write one myself. But I do not know how to count ties in the data frame. I can use for loops but it seems long and unnecessary since the rank function actually knows the ties. So can anyone give me a hint on how I can "count" the number of ties?


If you just need the overall number of ties in a vector (say x), you
can get it by

nTies = length(x) - length(unique(x))

And if you wnat to know which ties are which you can do:

table(x)[table(x) > 1]


This will not work if missing data are present, so you will have to
remove those first.


table() would ignore missing data (assuming it were properly NA not- valued).

> x <- sample(c(1:10,NA,NA), 20, replace=TRUE)
> table(x)[table(x) >1]
x
 1  4  7  9 10
 2  3  2  2  2
> x
 [1]  7 10  3  9 NA NA  2  4 10 NA NA  4  5  9  6  4  1  1  7  8
