When does this apply?

The same design as the repeated-measures ANOVA — one group’s measurements in at least three separate columns, one row per observation — but the comparison is by ranks within each row, so the measurements may also be ordinal. Two occasions are not accepted: the Wilcoxon signed-rank test covers that case. The output is χ², the degrees of freedom, p, and Kendall’s W as the effect size; pairwise differences are reported under the selected adjustment.
