|
22 ## For two matched-pair samples @var{x} and @var{y}, perform a sign test |
|
|
23 ## of the null hypothesis PROB (@var{x} > @var{y}) == PROB (@var{x} < |
|
|
24 ## @var{y}) == 1/2. Under the null, the test statistic @var{b} roughly |
|
|
25 ## follows a binomial distribution with parameters @code{@var{n} = sum |
|
|
26 ## (@var{x} != @var{y})} and @var{p} = 1/2. |
|
3200
|
27 ## |
|
3454
|
28 ## With the optional argument @code{alt}, the alternative of interest |
|
|
29 ## can be selected. If @var{alt} is @code{"!="} or @code{"<>"}, the |
|
|
30 ## null hypothesis is tested against the two-sided alternative PROB |
|
|
31 ## (@var{x} < @var{y}) != 1/2. If @var{alt} is @code{">"}, the |
|
|
32 ## one-sided alternative PROB (@var{x} > @var{y}) > 1/2 ("x is |
|
3457
|
33 ## stochastically greater than y") is considered. Similarly for |
|
|
34 ## @code{"<"}, the one-sided alternative PROB (@var{x} > @var{y}) < 1/2 |
|
|
35 ## ("x is stochastically less than y") is considered. The default is |
|
|
36 ## the two-sided case. |
|
3200
|
37 ## |
|
3454
|
38 ## The p-value of the test is returned in @var{pval}. |
|

|

|
40 ## If no output argument is given, the p-value of the test is displayed. |
