Hi everyone,

I've been asked to run a number of Wilcoxon tests on some behavioral data
(below is a sample).  They want me to compare each trial to the first
trial, considered the control trial. I know I can use brackets to index and
select, for example, trial 1 vs. trial 4 (not exactly sure how to set that
up either) but it would save me a ton of time if there was a way to do all
the comparisons at once - but for one response variable (e.g., removed) at
a time.

Thanks so much!

Jeff
