CIKM '07: Proceedings of the sixteenth ACM conference on Conference on information and knowledge management

Information retrieval (IR) researchers commonly use three tests of statistical significance: the Student's paired t-test, the Wilcoxon signed rank test, and the sign test. Other researchers have previously proposed using both the bootstrap and Fisher's ...
