Properties

• Analytics Properties

  • Type of Alternative Hypothesis

    • Two Sided

    • Less

    • Greater

  • Expected Difference - Default is 0. If "Independent (Rank Sum Test)" is selected for "Independent/Paired", Null hypothesis is that there are exactly this much shift between distributions of the 2 groups. If "Paired (Signed Rank Test)" is selected, Null hypothesis is that value difference between paired samples have a symmetric distribution centered at this value.

  • Independent/Paired

    • Independent (Rank Sum Test)

    • Paired (Signed Rank Test)

  • Estimate Confidence Interval of Difference - If set to TRUE, confidence interval of median of difference between a sample from one group and a sample from the other group is calculated and reported in the Summary Table.

  • Confidence Level - Confidence level for the confidence interval explained above.
