Sammanfattning	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 Friedman test is a nonparametric hypothesis test that compares three or more related conditions measured on the same blocks or subjects, serving as the rank-based alternative to repeated-measures ANOVA. It was introduced by Milton Friedman in 1937 and works on ordinal or continuous data without assuming normality.
