If I use the wilcox.test from R for paired data, what exactly it returns? I want to compute the effect size based on that

I want to calculate effect size for the paired Wilcoxon (signed rank). There are two options: Z/sqrt(N_pairs) or the rank-biserial correlation. The wilcox.test(... paired=TRUE) returns "V". ...

Effect size estimation for nonpar-test. Does anybody know the mathematical derivation of r=z/sqrt(N) ? (Rosenthal 1991)

In order to calculate an effect size estimator for a non-parametric test such as the Wilcoxon test, the following formula is applied: $ r= \frac{Z}{\sqrt{N}} $ This formula is suggested by several ...

How to interpret rank-biserial correlation coefficients for Wilcoxon test?

I know that Pearson's $r$ correlation coefficient can be classified as follows (Wikipedia entry): small size if $r \in [0.1, 0.3)$, medium size if $r \in [0.3, 0.5)$ large size if $r \in [0.5, 1]$ I'...
