问题
I would like to perform non-parametric testing for a dataframe. I have three groups A,B,C. I´d like to now the statistical significance between groups A/B, B/C and A/C. How can I do that non-parametrically? When applying Kruskal-Wallis-Test, I get the overall-inference between groups. This serves as protection for the following post-hoc test. But how to program the non-parametric post-hoc test (either using Kruskal-Wallis or Mann-Whitney-U)?
x<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,NA,9,8)
y<-c(2,3,NA,3,4,NA,2,3,NA,2,3,4)
group<-rep((factor(LETTERS[1:3])),4)
df<-data.frame(x,y,group)
df

ok, just to summarize the discussion within the comments above, there are several (not so well known) possibilities around to perform multiple non-parametric comparison with R-project. I included two of them for the example above:
library(pgrimess)
library(nparcomp)
x<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,NA,8,9)
y<-c(2,3,NA,3,4,NA,2,3,NA,2,3,4)
group<-rep((factor(LETTERS[1:3])),4)
df<-data.frame(x,y,group)
kruskal.test(df$x~df$group)
kruskalmc(df$x~df$group)
m<-nparcomp(x ~ group, data=df, asy.method = "probit", type = "Dunnett", control = "A", alternative = "two.sided", info = FALSE)
summary(m)
nparcomp is obviously more flexible and allows a large variety of contrasts. Here I picked Dunnett as an example.
There is a proposed procedure for multiple testing, bit according to several posts, there appeared some accuracy problems in large datasets. https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2012-January/300100.html
NDWD <- oneway_test(price ~ clarity, data = diamonds,
ytrafo = function(data) trafo(data, numeric_trafo = rank),
xtrafo = function(data) trafo(data, factor_trafo = function(x)
model.matrix(~x - 1) %*% t(contrMat(table(x), "Tukey"))),
teststat = "max", distribution = approximate(B=1000))
### global p-value
print(pvalue(NDWD))
### sites (I = II) != (III = IV) at alpha = 0.01 (page 244)
print(pvalue(NDWD, method = "single-step"))
Another possibility would be rms::polr followed by rms::contrasts as suggested by Frank Harrell https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2012-January/300329.html
Finally, user1317221_G included some very useful links including a boxplot incorporating the results of the test https://stats.stackexchange.com/a/20133 and a more detailed description for advanced graphing of boxplots is found one link further at http://egret.psychol.cam.ac.uk/statistics/R/graphs2.html
Hopefully that solves a couple of problems in that sector.
