mwustat
[u,z,P] = mwustat(data1,data2)
mwustat.m: given vectors data1 and data2, the Mann-Whitney U statistic is
returned along with the significance statistic Z. The Z value should be
compared to T(alpha,infinity) for samples larger than 40 data points,
otherwise The U value should be compared to a table of the U distribution.
This implementation assumes a precision in measurements that renders
tie values (i.e., > 1 occurence of the same value) unlikely. If tie
values are expected, this function should be modified.

u - the U statistic
z - the z-score for U
P - the p-value for that z
thesign - the sign of the difference (data2 - data1): +1 if Rank2>Rank1
NOTE: Is this the correct order?
