mood.median.test: Mood's Median test, extended to odd sample sizes.

In MultNonParam: Multivariate Nonparametric Methods

Mood's Median test, extended to odd sample sizes.

Description

Test whether two samples come from the same distribution. This version of Mood's median test is presented for pedagogical purposes only. Many authors successfully argue that it is not very powerful. The name "median test" is a misnomer, in that the null hypothesis is equality of distributions, and not just equality of median. Exact calculations are not optimal for the odd sample size case.

Usage

mood.median.test(x, y, exact = FALSE)

Arguments

x	First data set.
y	Second data set.
exact	Indicator for whether the test should be done exactly or approximately.

Details

The exact case reduces to Fisher's exact test.

Value

The two-sided p-value.
