When testing hypotheses in two-sample problems, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test is often used to test the location parameter, and this test has been discussed by many authors over the years. One modification of the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was proposed by Tamura [On a modification of certain rank tests. Ann Math Stat. 1963;34:1101–1103]. Deriving the exact critical value of the statistic is difficult when the sample sizes are increased. The normal approximation, the Edgeworth expansion, the saddlepoint approximation, and the permutation test were used to evaluate the upper tail probability for the modified Wilcoxon rank-sum test given finite sample sizes. The accuracy of various approximations to the probability of the modified Wilcoxon statistic was investigated. Simulations were used to investigate the power of the modified Wilcoxon rank-sum test for the one-sided alternative with various population distributions for small sample sizes. The method was illustrated by the analysis of real data.
