Wilcoxon Signed-rank Test
A non-parametric test for paired data that ranks absolute differences and uses signed ranks, testing H₀: the distribution is symmetric about zero.
Real World
Researchers at the University of Oxford used a Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess whether a mindfulness app reduced students' self-reported anxiety scores, since the difference data was symmetric but not normal.
Exam Focus
When ranks are tied, assign the mean rank to each tied value — show this working explicitly to secure method marks.
