Bayesian Wilcoxon signed-rank test

The Bayesian Wilcoxon signed-rank test is a Bayesian nonparametric method for comparing two paired or related samples. Rather than returning a single p-value, it produces posterior probabilities that one condition is better, practically equivalent, or worse than the other, enabling richer and more interpretable inference for paired continuous or ordinal data without assuming normality.
