Standardized versions of the Wilcoxon rank statistics are computed. This means that W* = (W - mean(W)) / sd(W) is used as expression score z, where W is the usual Wilcoxon rank sum statistic or Wilcoxon signed rank statistic, respectively.
In the computation of these statistics, the ranks of ties are by default set to the minimum rank. In the computation of the Wilcoxon signed rank statistic, zeros are randomly set either to a very small positive or negative value.
If there are less than 50 observations in each of the groups, the exact null distribution
will be used. If there are more than 50 observations in at least one group, the null
distribution will by default be approximated by the standard normal distribution. It is,
however, still possible to compute the exact null distribution by setting approx50
to FALSE
