Known bugs that I'm working on improving in R. Feel free to submit an issue on this repo and I'll add more improvements to my queue. This list is partly for my own reference so I don't forget what I was planning to work on.
- #18480: Non-recursive reimplementation of
dendrapplythat also allows for different tree traversal methods. - #18655: Improvements for
*wilcoxfunctions when populations are larger than 50, reduces memory scaling.
*signrankfunctions hang for large n: Happens aroundn>=1000. Solution is likely to implement anexact=c(TRUE,FALSE)argument with a large population size approximation (e.g., Edgeworth).wilcox.testproduces incorrect median estimates:$estimateis wildly incorrect in presence of zeros, ties, or degeneracy. This issue has been addressed and fixed in DescTools (link), but still needs to be fixed in base.wilcox.testinflates estimated p-values at tails: if either population is large (>=50), p-values will be inflated due to normal approximation. Edgeworth expansion should be implemented for improved accuracy.
