public double mannWhitneyU(double[] x, double[] y) throws NullArgumentException, NoDataException
This statistic can be used to perform a Mann-Whitney U test evaluating the null hypothesis that the two independent samples has equal mean.
Let Xi denote the i'th individual of the first sample and Yj the j'th individual in the second sample. Note that the samples would often have different length.
Preconditions:
x
- the first sampley
- the second sample
NullArgumentException
- if x
or y
are null
.
NoDataException
- if x
or y
are zero-length.public double mannWhitneyUTest(double[] x, double[] y) throws NullArgumentException, NoDataException, ConvergenceException, MaxCountExceededException
Let Xi denote the i'th individual of the first sample and Yj the j'th individual in the second sample. Note that the samples would often have different length.
Preconditions:
Ties give rise to biased variance at the moment. See e.g. http://mlsc.lboro.ac.uk/resources/statistics/Mannwhitney.pdf.
x
- the first sampley
- the second sample
NullArgumentException
- if x
or y
are null
.
NoDataException
- if x
or y
are zero-length.
ConvergenceException
- if the p-value can not be computed due to a
convergence error
MaxCountExceededException
- if the maximum number of iterations
is exceeded
