Hi, I am wondering what's the way to get the statistics of the wilcoxon signed rank test for the detection call algorithm. I know how to get the p-value as well as the detection call, but the statistics will be more useful. Thanks, -Jack [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

The computation is done at the C level, and all that is returned are the p-values. You could always download the sources and modify the C code to return the statistics as well, but that is only feasible if you know C. Alternatively, you could code up the mas5calls using R, but the description of how they are computed might not be 100% clear, so you might not be able to get the same exact values.
