Modified Extend
Median Test
The Modified Extend Median Test is a statistical
method aimed at analyzing differences among
multiple groups. It improves upon the traditional
median test by overcoming issues related to efficiency
and robustness, ensuring more precise outcomes
across diverse data scenarios.

Limitations of Traditional Median Test
Traditional median tests come with several limitations that affect their effectiveness.
These include efficiency issues with small samples, sensitivity to tied values in the data
leading to unreliable results, and the assumption of independence among samples,
which might not always be valid in practice.
