Gilles commented on MATH-1233:
------------------------------
Several things will have changed or disappeared "abruptly" when 4.0 will be
released. :)
The release notes should contain the context to help people with upgrading
their code.

> This implementation in WilcoxonSignedRankTest looks weird. For equal vectors,
> the correct pValue should be 1, because it is the probability of the vectors
> to come from same population.
> On the opposite, this implementation returns ~0 for equal vectors. So we need
> to analyze the returned pValue > significanceLevel to reject H0 hypothesis,
> while in R and many others tools we perform the opposite: pValue <=
> significanceLevel gives us an argument to reject null hypothesis.
