Definitions:

Nonparametric Method

A type of statistical method that does not assume a particular distribution for the data, often used when data doesn't fit normal distribution assumptions.

Matched Pairs

A study design in which each experimental unit (or subject) is paired with a control unit that is similar in terms of key variables except for the treatment under investigation.

Ordinal

Ordinal relates to a categorical, statistical data type which reflects ordered entities in which the order matters but the differences between the entities do not have a mathematical meaning.

Friedman Test

A non-parametric statistical test used to compare three or more matched or paired groups across multiple test conditions or times, assessing differences in rankings.
