Friedman test and its use case.
hardAnswer
- Non-parametric alternative to repeated-measures ANOVA.
- Same subjects rated on k treatments; rank within each subject, sum ranks per treatment.
- Null: no treatment effect.
- Useful for within-subject designs where normality is violated.
- Follow-up: pairwise Wilcoxon with correction.
- Common in ML benchmarking (rank algorithms across datasets).
