|
alpha |
significance level |
m |
size of Sample 1 |
n |
size of Sample 2 |
eps1_ |
absolute value of the left-hand limit of the hypothetical equivalence range for π_+ - 1/2 |
eps2_ |
right-hand limit of the hypothetical equivalence range for π_+ - 1/2 |
x |
row vector with the m observations making up Sample1 as components |
y |
row vector with the n observations making up Sample2 as components |
Notation: π_+ stands for the Mann-Whitney functional defined by π_+ = P[X>Y], with X\sim F \equiv cdf of Population 1 being independent of Y\sim G \equiv cdf of Population 2.
