mmmh, in this case I prefer the Friedman test, I would like not to loose
any data.

true, but it considers all the treatments together, while Wilcoxon works
per pairs of treatments within the blocks.

I already implemented the Friedman test for the replicated case although
taken from Conover 1999 _Practical non parametric statistics_. I hope it
is the same. My interest in a Wilcoxon procedure is due to the fact that
according to Hsu 1996 _Multiple comparisons_ the Friedman test is not
recommended for multiple comparisons becasue it has been shown that it
is not a confident method (the actual alpha value is greater).


Regards,


Marco

There is always the possibility to summarize the replicates and
then calculate a common pairwise Wilcoxon test.

The Friedman test calculates the ranks inside of the blocks, for
each block separately and is not considering all subjects
jointly.
In R implemented is the case with unreplicated blocked data, so
this doesn't help you.

Look at:

 Myles Hollander & Douglas A. Wolfe (1999), _Nonparametric
 statistical methods_. New York: John Wiley & Sons. 

There you find the generalization of the replicated case, but
you have to implement it.

[R] Wilcoxon test for mixed design (between-within subjects)

2005-01-24 Thread Marco Chiarandini
Hallo,

is there any extension of the pairwise Wilcoxon test to a dependent
samples layout with replicates (or, in other terms, a one-way layout
with blocking and replicates)?

The Wilcoxon method with matched pairs works for the case of dependent
samples with one observation per block, while the Mann-Whitney test
works for independent samples, thus one single block and replicated
observations. Is there a method which mixes this two cases considering a
depedent sample design in which each block has more than one
observation? I know it exists a Friedman test for this case but in the
Friedman test ranks are constructed considering all subjects jointly,
while in Wilcoxon only the pair of subject currently considered are
ranked, thus resulting in a more powerful test.

If no such method exists in R, I am anyway intersted in possible
references.

Thank you for the consideration,

Regards,

Marco
