Why is the asymptotic relative efficiency of the Wilcoxon test $3/\pi$ compared to Student's t-test for normally distributed data?
It is well-known that the asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) of the Wilcoxon signed rank test is $\frac{3}{\pi} \approx 0.955$ compared to Student's t-test, if the data are drawn from a normally ...

Can I use Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to test pairs of data in a time series?
I have a dataset of measurements (non-normally distributed).
Each line of this dataset is composed of two measurements of the same variable at a specific time (i.e. XYY [time, meas1, meas2]). This ...

Prove the relationship between Walsh averages and Wilcoxon signed rank test
In my lecture notes it is stated that
sum of all positive signed ranks (defined in Wilcoxon signed rank test) = the number of Walsh averages that are greater than median
How can I prove this ...

Why do zero differences not enter computation in the Wilcoxon signed ranked test?
The Wilcoxon signed ranked test tells us if the median difference between paired data can be zero. The test is executed by computing a statistic, then a z-score and comparing it to a critical value.
