摘要
This note extends the applicability of the Wilcoxon signed rank test to data from asymmetric densities. The operational characteristics and asymptotic properties of the process are discussed in detail. Additionally, a real data example highlights the benefits gained in practice. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
