Description

Performs a Mann-Whitney U test for on two independent samples of possibley unequal size. The main engine is nag_mann_whitney. This is an OriginPro only function.

Syntax

int ocmath_mann_whitney( const double * pData1, const int nSize1, const double * pData2, const int nSize2, const int nTailType, NPHSummary * MannSummary, NPHRanks * MannRanks, NPHStats * MannStats, bool bExact = false )

Parameters

pData1: [input] pointer to 1st data points for Wilcoxon Rank Sum test
nSize1: [input] number of pData1
pData2: [input] pointer to 2nd data points for Wilcoxon Rank Sum test
nSize2: [input] number of pData2
nTailType: [input] value indicates Tail Type. which containing 3 types:; TAILED_TEST_TWO is 0,; TAILED_TEST_UPPER is 1,; TAILED_TEST_LOWER is 2
MannSummary: [output] structure containing summary statistics of the 2 groups; MannSummary[0]: Summary statistics of 1st group; MannSummary[1]: Summary statistics of 2nd group
MannRanks: [output] structure containing Statistics of Ranks; MannRanks[0]: Ranks of 1st group; MannRanks[1]: Ranks of 2nd group
MannStats: [output] structure containing the test statistic and p-value
bExact: [input] Optional Input flag indicates if exact probalility to computed. return false if exact probability fail to be computed; bExact is true: compute the exact probability; bExact is false: compute the approximate probability.

Return

Returns STATS_NO_ERROR on successful exit or an STATS error code on failure.
