Hi Joerg,

Seems Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test (ks.test in R) would do the work
which tests differences anywhere in two distributions, e.g. tails,
interquartiles and center.

The ks.test() function refers to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test,
not the Wilcoxon test.

The OP might find this link helpful (I haven't used it, and
beware of mailer linebreaks):

Hi,

I have two non-normal distributions and use interquartile ranges as a 
dispersion measure.
Now I am looking for a test, which tests whether the interquartile ranges from 
the two distributions are significantly different.
Any idea?

Thanks,

joerg
