WHAT DOES SIGN TEST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sign test

In statistics, the sign test can be used to test the hypothesis that the difference median is zero between the continuous distributions of two random variables X and Y, in the situation when we can draw paired samples from X and Y. It is a non-parametric test which makes very few assumptions about the nature of the distributions under test - this means that it has very general applicability but may lack the statistical power of other tests such as the paired-samples t-test or the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Definition of sign test in the English dictionary
