Sign Test

The sign test is a non-parametric statistical test used to compare two dependent populations. It can be used when samples are paired and ordered, and the data is not normally distributed. The sign test determines if two groups are equally sized by counting the number of positive and negative signs between paired measurements. It follows a binomial distribution and is considered a weak test because it does not measure the size of differences between pairs. The sign test has assumptions that the data is from continuous distributions and two different matched samples.

DQ1)Discuss the concept of the sign test when comparing two dependent populations.

According to Stephanie(2016):

Sign Test is the mathematical test for comparing the dimensions of two groups.

Sign Test are used when dependent samples are actually ordered in the pairs form.

Sign Test is the distribution free test where the data is not usually distributed normally.

Sign Test is simply the binominal sign test for studying groups of two equally extent or not.

Sign Test is basically used for the ranked categorical data,where the both observations
could be named as x and y.

Sign Test are usually based on the command of the positive sign and the negative sign of
the given consideration.

Sign Test are used to conclude if the distribution of binomial having the identical
possibility of the favorable outcome and unfavorable outcome.

Sign Test is the type of non parametric test which usually determine if two groups are
equitably sized or not.

Sign Test is the mathematical technique for testing the constant discrepancy between the
pairs of the measurement.

Sign Test is usually follows the binomial distribution for the calculation of the expected
significance.

Sign Test is usually treated as powerless test because it is not capable of measuring the
differences between the pairs.

Dependent Samples is also be called as Before and After Sample which ought to be
matched,whereas the population may be allowed to be dissimilar for the pair samples.

Type of Sign Test are One Sample Sign Test and Paired Sample Sign Test.

Assumptions For the Sign Test are:

The distribution ought to be in continuous.

The data ought to be comprises from two different samples.

Both dependent samples should be equally matched in exact form.
