Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic Distribution in R (4 Examples) | dsignrank, psignrank, qsignrank & rsignrank Functions
In this tutorial, I’ll show how to use the functions of the Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic in the R programming language.

- Example 1: Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic Probability Density Function (dsignrank Function)
- Example 2: Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic Cumulative Distribution Function (psignrank Function)

So without further additions, here’s the step-by-step process…
Example 1: Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic Probability Density Function (dsignrank Function)
This example shows how to draw a plot of the probability density function (PDF) of the Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic:
x_dsignrank <- seq(0, 100, by = 1) # Specify x-values for dsignrank function y_dsignrank <- dsignrank(x_dsignrank, n = 20) # Apply dsignrank function plot(y_dsignrank, type = "o") # Plot dsignrank values

Example 2: Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic Cumulative Distribution Function (psignrank Function)
This example explains how to create a plot of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic:
x_psignrank <- seq(0, 100, by = 1) # Specify x-values for psignrank function y_psignrank <- psignrank(x_psignrank, n = 20) # Apply psignrank function plot(y_psignrank, type = "o") # Plot psignrank values

Example 3: Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic Quantile Function (qsignrank Function)
The third example explains how to plot a graph of the quantile function of the Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic:
x_qsignrank <- seq(0, 1, by = 0.01) # Specify x-values for qsignrank function y_qsignrank <- qsignrank(x_qsignrank, n = 20) # Apply qsignrank function plot(y_qsignrank, type = "o") # Plot qsignrank values
Figure 3: Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic Quantile Function.
Example 4: Generating Random Numbers (rsignrank Function)
Example 4 illustrates how to generate a set of random numbers with the distribution of the Wilcoxon Signedank Statistic:
set.seed(98989) # Set seed for reproducibility N <- 100000 # Specify sample size y_rsignrank <- rsignrank(N, n = 20) # Draw N random values y_rsignrank # Print values to RStudio console hist(y_rsignrank, # Plot of randomly drawn density breaks = 50, main = "")
