RankingWilcoxon-methods {GeneSelector} | R Documentation

## Ranking based on the Wilcoxon statistic

### Description

The Wilcoxon statistic is a rank-based, 'distribution free' alternative. It is also closely related to the 'Area under the curve' (AUC) in the two sample case. The implementation is efficient, but still far slower than that of the t-statistic.

### Methods

The input (gene expression and class labels) can be given in three different ways:

x = "matrix", y = "numeric"
  signature 1
x = "matrix", y = "factor"
  signature 2
x = "ExpressionSet", y = "character"
  signature 3

For further argument and output information, consult RankingWilcoxon.
