Re: Error in computation of Mann-Whitney-U Test

[Dr. Walter Statistics]

I cannot confirm your objection, John. I checked it again, now with a published data set of 3 - three - different groups. I ran three Mann Whitney U tests (group 1 vs 2 excluding the cases of group 3, group 1 vs 3 excluding the cases of group 2, group 2 vs 3 excluding the cases of group 1). There were no differences. PSPP seems to be working properly. I did not find anything of importance. There seems to be no problem at all.

Prof Nuszbaum has to be more specific in describing her problem.

Kind regards,

Oliver Walter

If Mandy's problem is the one I suspect it is, then it only manifests
itself when there are cases in the dataset which do not belong to either
group.
