An earlier post had posed the question: "Does anybody know what is relation
between 'T' value calculated by 'wilcox_test' function (coin package) and
more common 'W' value?"
I found the question interesting and ran the commands in R and SPSS. The W
reported by R did not seem to correspond to either Mann-Whitney U,
Wilcoxon W or the Z which I have more commonly used. Correction for ties
may have affected my results.
Can anyone else explain what the reported W is and the relation to the
reported T?
