The function FriedmanTest performs a Friedman test of homogeneity of matched samples having at least 3 groups. The observed values have to be stored in the matrix Data whose rows are the observations and whose columns are the groups. A minimum number of three groups is required. The function returns the chi-square statistic in the variable parameter Chi2Stat and the corresponding p-value as the function value. Please note that the p-value is an asymptotic value obtained from the chi square distribution. This value is not accurate for a low number of groups and/or a low number of observations. As a rule of thumb the p-value is reliable only if the product of the number of columns and the number of rows of the data matrix exceeds 40.
