*'''Wilcoxon signed rank test'''
::''<math>H_0</math> is '''median of paired differences''' in the population is zero''
:#To calculate differences between pairs and discard 0 differences
:#To rank the absolute values of differences (ignoring 0)
:#To look up '''critical value''' relevant to numbers of pairs with non-0 differences and whether '''the smaller sum of rank''' (=statistics) is smaller than the critical value
::if smaller than the critical value, p-value is smaller than designated
