Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Wilcoxon rank sum test (also known as the Mann-Whitney U test) is specifically designed for comparing two independent population locations and is a nonparametric alternative to the small-sample t test. The Kruskal-Wallis test is used for comparing more than two groups, the Wilcoxon signed rank test is used for comparing two related samples, and the Sign test is used for comparing two independent dichotomous samples.
