how to perform a wilcoxon signed-rank test in matlab

The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is a non-parametric statistical test to compare two related samples. In Matlab, you can perform this test using the signrank function. Here's an example of how to use this function:

main.m
% Generate two related samples
x = [83, 65, 80, 72, 76, 80, 61, 68];
y = [90, 72, 88, 80, 84, 82, 69, 78];

% Perform the Wilcoxon signed-rank test
[p, h, stats] = signrank(x, y);

% Display the results
disp(['p-value = ', num2str(p)])
disp(['test statistic = ', num2str(stats.signedrank)])
if h == 1
    disp('Reject null hypothesis - there is a significant difference between the samples')
else
    disp('Do not reject null hypothesis - there is no significant difference between the samples')
end

In this example, x and y are the two related samples. The signrank function returns the p-value, test statistic, and a logical value indicating whether to reject the null hypothesis at a 5% significance level (h=1 means reject, h=0 means do not reject).
