Comparing Medians of Two Populations

Gnumeric provides three non-parametric tests to test the null hypothesis that the two samples come from populations with the same median. Two tests, performed through the same tool, apply in the case of paired samples:

  • Sign Test
  • Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test

One test applies in the case of unpaired samples:

  • Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Test

8.6.2.1. Sign Test

This section describes the two sample (paired) sign test to test the null hypothesis that the two samples come from populations with the same median. The tool to perform a sign test to test the null hypothesis that the single sample comes from a population with a given median is in section Section 8.5.2.1 ― Sign Test.

8.6.2.2. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test

This section describes the two sample (paired) Wilcoxon signed rank test to test the null hypothesis that the two samples come from populations with the same median. The tool to perform a Wilcoxon signed rank test to test the null hypothesis that the single sample comes from a population with a given median is in section Section 8.5.2.2 ― Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.
