Dear fellows !
I made two sample Wilcoxon-ranksum-test
/ to show that two independent samples are from same distribution = H0/
with following results: m ... men W ... woman
A Wilcoxon ranksum test cannot show that 2 independent samples are from the
same distribution, because a high P-value does not prove a null hypothesis.
If you want to calculate confidence intervals for rank statistics, then
this can be done in Stata using the -somersd- package. A reference on this
is Newson (2002). A pre-publication draft of this paper can be downloaded
from my website (see my signature).
