[R] Two factor (or more) non-parametric comparison of means

2005-10-11 Thread John Sorkin
Can anyone suggest a good non-parametric test, and an R implementation of the test, that allows for two or more factors? Wilcoxon signed rank allows for only one. Thanks, John John Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. Chief, Biostatistics and Informatics Baltimore VA Medical Center GRECC and University of

I suspect that John may be looking for ?friedman.test, which I believe will allow for a two-way non-parametric test. kruskal.test() will perform a non-parametric test on two or more samples (or factor levels) as a generalization of wilcox.test() for one or two samples (or factor levels). HTH,
