The Power of Student's t and Wilcoxon W Statistics
A Comparison
Jeffrey Lee Rasmussen
Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis
A previous study indicated that the Wilcoxon W test showed a power advantage over the student's t-test when they were calculated on samples drawn from a common mixed-normal distribution. The present study investigates the effect of correcting for outliers in the mixed-normal samples. The results indicate that the t-test corrected for outliers shows a superior power curve to the Wilcoxon W.
