Hello Greg,
Thank you so much for your kind assistance. It looks like there's no way
around using the formula format. I longed in vain for a simpler script
more like the wilcox.test format. Thanks again.

I don't see why the formula syntax would be a problem, but to avoid it
you could use exactRankTests::wilcox.exact() which, I believe, was
written by the same author. It uses the same syntax as wilcox.test().
Note, though, that the package is no longer
being developed.

Ok, it looks like the function mainly works through the formula syntax.
It still would have been nice to have a reproducible example of what
your
data may look like, but I can show an example with simulated x and y:
x <- rpois(10, 3)
y <- rpois(11, 3.1)
mydf <- data.frame( vals = c(x,y),
+ group=rep( c('x','y'), c( length(x), length(y) ) ) )
wilcox_test( vals ~ group, data=mydf )
Asymptotic Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Test
data: vals by group (x, y)
Z = -1.3718, p-value = 0.1701
alternative hypothesis: true mu is not equal to 0
Does that help? (maybe I am the heedlessness theorist after all)

I thought (hoped) wilcox_test(x,y) would do it but it doesn't and the
package maintainer says the data have to be rearranged but does not
specify
how. Thanks

What have you tried so far? Have you read the help page? have you run
the examples on that page?
I would expect that it is something as simple as
library(coin)
wilcox_test(x,y)
or
wilcox_test( y ~ group )
But you should trust the help page more than the expectations of
someone
who has not read it recently (see fortune(14)).
If that does not answer your question then give us more detail on what
you tried, what you expected the results to be, what the results
actually
were, and how they differed. Without that information we have to
resort to
mind reading and the current implementation of the esp package is still
very pre-alpha, it suggests that the answer to your question is:
esp()
[1] "selflessly vigilantly pigeon theorist heedlessness"
Which is either much to profound for the likes of me to understand or
is
complete gibberish (which is only slightly less helpful than an overly
general question without a reproducible example).

Dear All,
I have two simple data samples (no groups or factors, etc.) and would
just
like to compute the two-sample Wilcoxon Rank Sum test using the
wilcox_test
function contained in the coin package, which is reportedly better
than
the
regular wilcox.test function because it performs some adjustment for
ties.
Would anyone know how to craft a script to perform this task? Much
appreciated.
