Hi guys,
I have two data sets of prices: endprice0, endprice1
I use the Wilcox test:
wilcox.test(endprice0, endprice1, paired = TRUE, alternative = "two.sided",
conf.int = T, conf.level = 0.9)
The result is with V = 1819, p-value = 0.8812.
Then I calculated the z-value of the test: z-value = -2.661263. The
corresponding p-value is: p-value = 0.003892, which is different from the
p-value computed in the Wilcox test, I am using the following steps to compute
the z-value:
diff = c(endprice0 - endprice1)
diffNew = diff[diff !=0]
diffNew.rank = rank(abs(diffNew))
diffNew.rank.sign<- diffNew.rank * sign(diffNew)
ranks.pos<- sum(diffNew.rank.sign[diffNew.rank.sign>0]) = 1819
ranks.neg<- -sum(diffNew.rank.sign[diffNew.rank.sign<0]) = 1751
v = ranks.neg
n = 100
z= (v - n *(n+1)/4)/sqrt(n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/24) = -2.661263
Which p-value should I take for the Wilcox test then?

the data sets used in my test are:
