Step 1.

\n

First we present the data as in the next table, changing rows to columns, and work out the ranks of each of the columns. So all we are doing is ranking the four numbers in each column separately. We use the method of finding ranks as explained for the Kruskal-Wallis example. Then we sum over the ranks in each row.

\n

Step 2: Next we work out the uncorrected (for ties) Friedman statistic $\\chi_r^2$.

\n

Here:

\n

$t = \\;$ number of treatments i.e. suncreams $\\;=4$

\n

$b=\\;$ number of subjects $\\;=5$.

\n

\\[\\begin{eqnarray*}\\chi_r^2&=& \\frac{12}{b\\times t \\times (t+1)}\\left[\\sum R_i^2 \\right]-\\left\\{3\\times b\\times (t+1)\\right\\}\\\\&=&\\left\\{\\frac{12}{\\var{n}\\times\\var{m}\\times\\var{m+1}}\\left[\\var{surk[0]}^2+\\var{surk[1]}^2+\\var{surk[2]}^2+\\var{surk[3]}^2\\right]\\right\\}-\\left\\{3\\times\\var{n}\\times \\var{m+1}\\right\\}\\\\&=&\\var{fr}\\end{eqnarray*}\\]

\n

 Step 3: Next we calculate the Correction Factor $C$

\n

Only necessary if there are some ties, otherwise $C=1$.

\n

For each tie in a column with $g$ equal values we calculate $\\displaystyle \\frac{g^3-g}{b(t^3-t)}$.

\n

$T$ is the sum of all these values and then the Correction Factor $C= 1-T$. 

\n

So for this example we note  {messtab}

\n

{table(disptab,[])}

\n

Summing over the values {mess1} we find $T=\\var{tscorr} \\Rightarrow C=1- \\var{tscorr}=\\var{1-tscorr}$.

\n

Step 4.

\n

Next we calculate the corrected Friedman statistic allowing for ties.

\n

$ \\displaystyle \\chi_r^{2^*}=\\frac{\\chi_r^{2}}{C} = \\frac{\\var{fr1}}{\\var{1-tscorr}}=\\var{fr}$ to 2 decimal places.

\n

Step 5. Make a decision.

\n

Looking at the table in conjunction with the test statistic we have just worked out, {dec}

The following data arose in a comparison of the effects of alcohol on the time taken to complete a task. There were three groups of subjects; Group A had no alcohol, Group B had two units over 1 hour and Group C had 4 units over 1 hour. The responses are the times (in seconds) taken to complete a word-matching task.

Kruskal-Wallis test with ties.

"}, "variablesTest": {"condition": "", "maxRuns": 100}, "advice": "

In order to find the ranks we order, in increasing order,  all of the times for the tasks across all the three groups. We also work out the ranks for each time by including a row which simply numbers from $1$ to $\\var{n}$, this we call the index of the numbers and the last row then takes equal values in the list and gives the averages of their indices, so that they all get the same rank. So you simply add up their corresponding indices in that group and divide by the number of equal entries. So if a number is not repeated then its rank is its index. 

\n

For this example we have:

\n

{table([s1,s2,s3],[])}

\n

We see that there are ties as follows:

\n

{table(ties,[])}

\n

We use this information later to find the correction factor.

\n

Putting these ranks back into the original table gives, where $R_1,\\;R_2$ and $R_3$ are the sums of the ranks in each row:

\n

We now have enough information to start the calculation of the Kruskal-Wallis statistic.

\n

We do this in three steps:

\n

1. Calculate the statistic $H$, which assumes there are no ties.

\n

2. Find the correction factor $C$ given by the ties in the data.

\n

3. This gives the statistic $H^*=H/C$ we want, and we make a decision based on the Kruskal-Wallis table.

\n

Step 1: Find $H$.

\n

\\[\\begin{eqnarray*}H &=& \\left[\\frac{12}{N \\times (N+1)} \\times \\left(\\sum \\frac{R_i^2}{n_i}\\right)\\right]-3(N+1)\\\\&=&\\left\\{\\frac{12}{\\var{n}\\times\\var{n+1}}\\times\\left(\\frac{\\var{sr[0]}^2}{6}+\\frac{\\var{sr[1]}^2}{6}+\\frac{\\var{sr[2]}^2}{6}\\right)\\right\\}-3\\times \\var{n+1}\\\\&=&\\var{h}\\\\&=&\\var{precround(H,3)}\\end{eqnarray*}\\] to 3 decimal places.

\n

Step 2: Find the Correction Factor $C$.

\n

For each tie with $g$ equal data values we calculate $\\displaystyle \\frac{g^3-g}{N^3-N}$ and add these together over all ties to get $T$.

\n

Then $C=1-T$.

\n

So for our data we have:

\n

{table(tiesplus,[' ','Number','Contribution','Value'])}

\n

Hence $C=1-T = 1-\\var{sum(vties)}=\\var{1-sum(vties)}=\\var{precround(corr,3)}$ to 3 decimal places.

\n

Step 3: Find the Kruskal-Wallis test statistic and make a decision.

\n

The statistic is given by $\\displaystyle H^*=\\frac{H}{C}=\\frac{\\var{precround(h,3)}}{\\var{precround(corr,3)}}=\\var{kw}$ to 2 decimal places.

\n

Looking at the $\\chi^2$ table our decision is that {dec}
