Exercise 3

Due date : 9/10 before 21:00, via email. Send a short pdf with your code, results and discussion.

Can be done individually or in pairs

Unpaired data

Files a.csv b.csv c.csv d.csv e.csv contain five sets of unpaired data

Paired data

File mulyi.csv contains 17 runs of your algorithm against 4 other. The data is running time (lower is better). The data for your algorithm is the first column. Which algorithm is significantly slower than yours? Assume that the data is not normal, and so you should use the Friedman test followed by the necessary comparisons using Wilcoxon sign rank. Use Holms, Hochberg, Hommel and Bonferroni corrections.

As an extra work, not to be sent to me in your answer, you should also try to use a repeated measure ANOVA instead of the Friedman test, and do the comparisons using the t-test. You will see that repeated measure ANOVA is suprisingly complicated to use in R.
