we made some changes to the mu statistic in May 2019 to make it independent of the chromosome length and accounting for different sample sizes so I think that it is reasonable to do such comparison among different populations

e.g. In chr1: 10000-20000, we get 10 mu statistic for each population. pop1 mu: 0.1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 2, 3, 0, 0.1 pop2 mu: 10, 3, 5, 9, 15, 20, 21, 32, 10, 0.5
Then is it reasonable for doing Wilcoxon test among pop 1 and pop 2.

Thank you! I plan to compare the statistics among populations.
