ABSTRACT To illustrate and document the tenuous connection between the Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney (WMW) procedure and medians, its relationship to mean ranks is first contrasted with the relationship of a t-test to means. The quantity actually tested: Pr ^(X1<X2)+ Pr ^(X1=X2)/2 is then described and recommended as the basis for an alternative summary statistic that can be employed instead of medians. In order to graphically represent an estimate of the quantity: Pr(X1 < X2) + Pr(X1 = X2)/2, use of a… Continue Reading
