The Descriptive Use of Absolute Differences between Pairs of Scores with a Common Mean and Variance.

McGraw, Kenneth O.; Wong, S. P. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1994
Similarity between pairs of scores with a common mean and variance can be expressed in terms of the absolute differences between them. The distribution of such absolute differences between pairs of normally distributed scores with a common mean and variance is discussed, with procedures for calculating moments and areas within this distribution.…

Blair, R. Clifford; Higgins, James J. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1985
This study was concerned with the effects of reliability of observations, sample size, magnitudes of treatment effects, and the shape of the sampled population on the relative power of the paired samples rank transform statistic and Wilcoxon's signed ranks statistic. (Author/LMO)
