Wilcoxon Signed-rank Test
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is a non-parametric statistical hypothesis test used either to test the location of a population based on a sample of data, or to compare the locations of two populations using two matched samples., p. 350 The one-sample version serves a purpose similar to that of the one-sample Student's ''t''-test. For two matched samples, it is a paired difference test like the paired Student's ''t''-test (also known as the "''t''-test for matched pairs" or "''t''-test for dependent samples"). The Wilcoxon test can be a good alternative to the ''t''-test when population means are not of interest; for example, when one wishes to test whether a population's median is nonzero, or whether there is a better than 50% chance that a sample from one population is greater than a sample from another population. History The test is named for Frank Wilcoxon (1892–1965) who, in a single paper, proposed both it and the rank-sum test for two independent samples. The test was p ...
