Hello!

I hope, i'm doing right, writing here.

I have a question about the R statistical formulas: were can I look,
what are they? E. g. I'd like to know which exactly mathematical formula
is used in Wilcoxon test, and others. Is there somewhere on the Internet
information about that?

Thanks a lot!
Ilya.

PS
Sorry for any mistakes in my English, it is not my mother-tongue.

Hi Ilya,
If you're looking for general information about statistical tests, etc., you'll probably need to buy yourself a textbook. There are online pages (http://homes.msi.ucsb.edu/~byrnes/rtutorial.html is a good one), but a good textbook is probably better. It's a bit old, but I still recommend Fowler et al. (1998) for those who are starting out with statistical testing: Fowler J, Cohen L & Jarvis P (1998). Practical statistics for field biology (2nd ed.). Wiley, Chichester, UK.

While I hate to admit I use wikipedia for reference, usually searches confined to edu domains
are quite good and often mit ocw has something helpful. For example,

In the field of psychology one recommendation is (still) also: 
Hays, W. L. (1994). Statistics. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth. Depending 
on your German skills (if at all) THE Bortz could be a good 
textbook, Bortz, J. (2005). Statistik f?r Human- und 
Sozialwissenschaftler (6. Aufl). Berlin: Springer.

Good luck, *S*
