st: Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon Test, Student t-test and Pettit Test
In BreakPoints: Identify Breakpoints in Series of Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References Examples

Compute Rolling Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon Test, Rolling Student t-test and Pettit test for homogeneity, NAs allow.

  stu(serie,n_period=10)

  man.whi(serie,n_period=10)

  pettit(serie,n_period=10)

`serie`	numeric vector where the breakpoint is looked for
`n_period`	an integer specifying the minimal length of a complete period to consider

man.whi compute Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon Test and stu the Student t-test for all possible breaks in the serie and get the most significant break.In both test NA values are allow.

pettit Compute the Pettit Test for Homogeneity. NA values are allow.

pettit, man.whi and stu returns a list with the breakpoint index and its p value

breaks: index where the breakpoint is found
p.value: p value of the test
