خلاصه	The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is the nonparametric alternative to the paired t-test, comparing two related measurements on the same subjects to decide whether their typical difference is zero. It was introduced by Frank Wilcoxon in 1945 and works on continuous or ordinal data without assuming normality.	The sign test is the simplest nonparametric hypothesis test for deciding whether the median of paired differences — or of a single sample — differs significantly from a hypothesised value. Formalised by W. J. Dixon and A. M. Mood in 1946, it imposes virtually no distributional assumptions and can be applied to any data where individual differences can be classified as positive or negative.
