I would like to compare two datasets. Each dataset includes the ratio of chosen features (number of chosen tokens/number of all tokens in the document). The distribution is not normal.

I want to check of one group uses the features more often than the other one.

Would the Mann-Whitney U Test be suitable for me in this case? Which alternative should I take (SciPy suggests two-sided, less, and greater alternative)?

Mann-Whitney U Test with SciPy
