Introduction to Non-Parametric Statistical Tests ============================================= In statistical analysis, non-parametric tests are used when the data does not meet the assumptions required for parametric tests. One of the most commonly used non-parametric tests is the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, also known as the Wilcoxon test. This test is used to compare two related samples or repeated measurements on a single sample to assess whether their population mean ranks differ. Background: The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is based on the concept of ranking and summing the absolute values of the differences between paired observations.

Introduction In this blog post, we will explore a common problem in data analysis and manipulation: summing variables by unique variable names for different metrics.
