Starting from the U-test (see Buck 1975), for 2 independent samples of differences (e.g. pre-post differences), a corresponding test for 2 dependent samples of differences of pre- and post-measurements of 2 treatments (e.g. verum vs. placebo) is described (matched-pairs differences-W-test). Clinically relevant applications (verum vs. placebo) of the matched-pairs differences-W-test are mentioned and discussed as to their restrictions.
从U检验开始（见Buck，1975年），对于两个独立的差异样本（例如前后差异），描述了一种针对两种治疗方法（例如真药与安慰剂）前后测量的两个相关差异样本的相应检验（配对差异-W检验）。文中提到并讨论了配对差异-W检验在临床相关应用（真药与安慰剂）方面的限制。
