Mann–Whitney U test

From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA


In statistics, the Mann–Whitney U test (also called the Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon (MWW), Wilcoxon rank-sum test, or Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test) is a nonparametric test of the null hypothesis that, for randomly selected values X and Y from two populations, the probability of X being greater than Y is equal to the probability of Y being greater than X. A similar nonparametric test used on dependent samples is the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
