The Distribution of the Sum of Signed Ranks
Albright, Brian
College Mathematics Journal, v43 n3 p232-236 May 2012
We describe the calculation of the distribution of the sum of signed ranks and develop an exact recursive algorithm for the distribution as well as an approximation of the distribution using the normal. The results have applications to the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
