When I use the signrank test signrank y=0 I get the following result:
. signrank y=0
Ho: y = 0
z = 3.002
Prob > |z| = 0.0027
I then tried permute
permute y "signrank y=0" z=r(z), reps(1000) nowarn
command: signrank y=0
statistic: z = r(z)
permute var: y
Monte Carlo permutation statistics Number of obs =
20
Replications =
1000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T | T(obs) c n p=c/n SE(p) [95% Conf.
Interval]
-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
z | 3.002347 1000 1000 1.0000 0.0000 .9963179
1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: confidence interval is with respect to p=c/n
Note: c = #{|T| >= |T(obs)|}
Would somebody please explain what is wrong with my syntax - or am I just
misunderstanding the output.
Thanks, Paul F.
