signtest1-help: Sign Test with RSS

In RSSampling: Ranked Set Sampling

Description

It performs the RSS version of the sign test given by Chen et. al.(2003).

Usage

  sign1testrss(sampledata,m,r,median0,alpha=0.05,alternative="two.sided")

Arguments

sampledata	An obtained ranked set sample
m	Number of units in each set (set size)
r	Number of cycles
median0	The median value in the null hypothesis
alpha	The significance level (by default = 0.05).
alternative	Character string defining the alternative hypothesis, one of "two.sided", "less" or "greater" (by default = "two.sided")

Details

The test statistics and an approximate confidence intervals are constructed by using the normal approximation. Also note that, we assume that the ranking mechanism in the RSS is consistent. For more details please refer to Chen et. al.(2003, pg. 103-115).

Value

median	The median value of the given set
sign.test.stat	The value of the RSS sign test statistic
C.I.	the confidence interval for median
z.test	the z statistic for test
p.value	the p value for the test
