Dear Sir,

I am comparing two samples using wilcox.test in R. Literature appears to describe mann whitney u test as the most appropriate test to use on my data.

is the wilcox.test function equivalent to mann-whitney u?

When used in its two-sample mode the answer is yes.

Is there a way to gain the U-value as apposed to the W-value in R?

Answering that question was as simple as going to :
http://search.r-project.org/nmz.html

.... typing in mann-whitney u

... and a few clicks.

Try it yourself.
