Friedman Two-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks

When the data from K matched samples are in at least an ordinal scale, the Friedman two-way of variance by ranks is used to test the null hypothesis that the K samples have been drawn from


the same population.  The matched samples may be the same group of individuals who have been exposed to several conditions, or they be sets of individuals who have been matched on relevant variables and are randomly assigned to different conditions.
