สรุป	The Brunner-Munzel test is a nonparametric two-sample hypothesis test that estimates the probabilistic superiority index P(X < Y) — the probability that a randomly selected observation from one group exceeds a randomly selected observation from the other. Introduced by Brunner and Munzel in 2000 as a solution to the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem, it remains valid even when the two groups have unequal variances or differently shaped distributions, making it a robust alternative to the Mann-Whitney U test in heteroscedastic settings.	The Mann-Whitney U test is the nonparametric alternative to the independent samples t-test, comparing two independent groups by ranking all observations together rather than relying on their means. It was introduced by H. B. Mann and D. R. Whitney in 1947 and does not require the data to be normally distributed.
