The Friedman test is a non-parametric statistical test used to detect differences in treatments across multiple test attempts. It compares three or more related/matched samples, such as the same measure repeated over time. The test ranks the data and calculates a statistic to determine if the null hypothesis that there are no differences between treatments can be rejected. In this example, the Friedman test was performed on ordinal data from 6 subjects over 3 weeks and found that the calculated chi-square value of 2.33 was less than the critical value of 5.991, so the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the weeks was not rejected.
