[R] Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test with Bonferroni's correction

[Spencer Graves]

      Consider the following: 

l0 <- list(1:3, 4:5)
l1 <- list(6:8, 9:11, 12:16)
WT <- mapply(function(x,y)wilcox.test(x,y)$p.value, l0, l1)

      The simplest Bonferroni for this case would be as follows: 

length(WT)*WT

      Greater numerical precision could be obtained as follows: 

1-(1-WT)^length(WT)

      If you aren't satisfied with either of these, I suggest two 
things:  First have you tried help('Bonferroni')?  This produced 124 
hits for me just now.  Second, please expand your example slightly to 
make it self contained (as I tried to do above) and PLEASE do read the 
posting guide "www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html". 

      Hope this helps.
