[R] BIZARRE results from wilcox.test()

[Jeremy Miles]

The results weren't BIZARRE (or even bizarre).  You didn't understand
them, but that doesn't make them bizarre.  (I didn't understand them
either, but thanks to the replies, now I do).

Why not send something more similar to your dataset to ensure you get
relevant answers ?
