Rezumat	The Van der Waerden test is a nonparametric k-sample hypothesis test that converts observations into normal scores — the quantiles of a standard normal distribution — before comparing groups. Introduced by Bartel Leendert van der Waerden in 1952, it can achieve higher statistical power than the Kruskal-Wallis test when the underlying distributions are symmetric, making it a compelling bridge between rank-based and parametric methods.	The Kruskal-Wallis H test is a nonparametric hypothesis test that compares three or more independent groups to decide whether their distributions (typically their medians) differ. Introduced by William Kruskal and W. Allen Wallis in 1952, it works on ranks rather than raw values and is the distribution-free counterpart to one-way ANOVA.
