Everyone: I am currently trying to reproduce the nonparametric Walsh Test, as presented in Siegel (1956, pp. 83-87), and unfortunately I cannot find a R function for this test. I would certainly appreciate any pointers for the Walsh Test using R, or perhaps a reasonable substitute if there is simply no package::function that specifically addresses this test. Thank you and best wishes. Tom MacFarland ---------- Thomas W. MacFarland, Ed.D.

Is there a R function for the nonparametric Walsh Test?

I don't know of any extant function to effect the Walsh Test, but having had a look at the recipe given in http://www.statistics4u.com/fundstat_eng/ee_walsh_outliertest.html I would say that anyone with even a modest knowledge of R could write such a function in under 5 minutes. cheers, Rolf Turner
