Quick guide
How to use this calculator
- Enter the observations, probabilities, model parameters, or summary statistics requested by the visible labels.
- Keep every value on the same scale and confirm that the selected sampling relationship, distribution, and tail convention match the question you are investigating.
- Read the result together with its assumptions and interpretation. Statistical output summarizes uncertainty under a model; it does not repair biased data or establish causation.
Calculation method
How the wilcoxon signed-rank test calculator works
W+ sums positive-difference ranks; normal variance includes tie corrections.
The test concerns a symmetric distribution of differences, not merely equality of marginal medians.
Worked example
Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test example
Aligned before-and-after data are reduced to nonzero signed differences and ranked by magnitude.
W+ sums positive-difference ranks; normal variance includes tie corrections.
Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Model and design
Pairs must align and be independent across units; zero differences are removed and inference uses a tie-corrected normal approximation.
Numerical scope
Inputs use double-precision numerical methods with guarded domains. Datasets accept up to 10,000 finite plain-decimal values. Extremely large parameters or probabilities deep in a numerical tail may require specialist statistical software.
Interpretation
The test concerns a symmetric distribution of differences, not merely equality of marginal medians.
Decision boundary
The calculator does not validate how data were collected, diagnose dependence or bias, choose a scientifically meaningful effect, or replace review by a qualified statistician for consequential research, medical, regulatory, safety, or policy decisions.
