SiegelTukey: annual mean of the absolute day-to-day differences of DTR (SiegelTukey)

Description

SiegelTukey returns the annual mean of the absolute day-to-day differences of the diurnal temperature range (SiegelTukey).

Usage

SiegelTukey(x,y,id.col=FALSE,adjust.median=FALSE,rnd=-1,alternative="two.sided", mu=0 ,paired=FALSE,exact=FALSE,correct=TRUE,conf.int=FALSE,conf.level=0.95, showresult=TRUE, returnresult=TRUE)

Arguments

x
vector of data
y
Data of the second group (if id.col=FALSE) or group indicator (if id.col=TRUE). In the latter case, y MUST take 1 or 2 to indicate observations of group 1 and 2, respectively, and x must contain the data for both groups.
id.col
If FALSE (default), then x and y are the data columns for group 1 and 2, respectively. If TRUE, the y is the group indicator.
adjust.median
Should between-group differences in medians be leveled before performing the test? In certain cases, the Siegel-Tukey test is susceptible to median differences and may indicate significant differences in variability that, in reality, stem from differences in medians.
rnd
Should the data be rounded and, if so, to which decimal? The default (-1) uses the data as is. Otherwise, rnd must be a non-negative integer. Typically, this option is not needed. However, occasionally, differences in the precision with which certain functions return values cause the merging of two data frames to fail within the SiegelTukey function. Only then rounding is necessary. This operation should not be performed if it affects the ranks of observations.
alternative
"one.sided" or "two.sided".
mu
mu.
paired
Logical, TRUE=paired, FALSE=not paired.
exact
Logical, TRUE=paired, FALSE=.
correct
Logical, TRUE=paired, FALSE=.
conf.int
Confidence interval.
conf.level
Confidence level.
showresult
Logical, show the result or not.
returnresult
Logical, return the result or not.

Value

groupmedian1
Group median 1
groupmedian2
Group median 2
testmediandifferences
Wilcoxon-test for between-group differences in median (after the median adjustment if specified)
wilcox.test.p.value
Wilcoxon-test for between-group differences in median (after the median adjustment if specified)
wilcox.test.null.value
Wilcoxon-test for between-group differences in median (after the median adjustment if specified)
unique.x.tieadjusted.rank
Unique values of x and their tie-adjusted Siegel-Tukey ranks
tieadjusted.ranks.group1
Tie-adjusted Siegel-Tukey ranks of group 1
tieadjusted.ranks.group2
Tie-adjusted Siegel-Tukey ranks of group 2
wilcoxon.W
Wilcoxon-test for between-group differences in median (after the median adjustment if specified)
wilcoxon.p.value
Wilcoxon-test for between-group differences in median (after the median adjustment if specified)
