wilcoxon ranked signs for matched pairs

[Ted Kaniuka]

Hello-

STATA 13 windows 32 bit, I want to run the Wilcoxon test for 31 variables and would like to know is there a way to write a command that will do this for all 31 at once and not have to test each variable one at a time? Thanks for your time.

There is no way to do this "all at once" in a single command in Stata. But if you want to avoid writing 31 separate commands, you can do it in a loop. See -help foreach-.

Thank you will look for "foreach"

As an aside to Clyde's advice, Ted may want to take a look at a quite recent Nick's reply on the same topic:
