signmedian.test-package: Perform Exact Sign Test and Asymptotic Sign Test in Large Samples

Description

Perform sign test on one-sample data, which is one of the oldest non-parametric statistical methods. Assume that X comes from a continuous distribution with median = v ( unknown ). Test the null hypothesis H0: median of X v = mu ( mu is the location parameter and is given in the test ) v.s. the alternative hypothesis H1: v > mu ( or v < mu or v != mu ) and calculate the p-value. When the sample size is large, perform the asymptotic sign test. In both ways, calculate the R-estimate of location of X and the distribution free confidence interval for mu.

Examples

##One-sample test
x<-c(-5,-3,-2,1,5,6,3,9,10,15,20,21)
signmedian.test(x,alternative = "greater",exact=TRUE)
signmedian.test(x,mu=3,alternative="two.sided",exact=FALSE)
##Two-sample test(paired data)
x<-c(-5,-3,-2,1,5,6,3,9,10,15,20,21)
y<-c(-1,-2,-3,1,2,3,4,2,6,8,9,10)
x<-y-x
signmedian.test(x,alternative = "greater",exact=TRUE)
