摘要	The Bayesian Mann-Whitney U test is a nonparametric Bayesian procedure for comparing two independent groups when data are ordinal or non-normal continuous. Instead of a binary reject/fail-to-reject decision, it quantifies the relative evidence for the null and alternative hypotheses through a Bayes factor, allowing researchers to conclude in favour of either hypothesis or express uncertainty.	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.
