I know I could program both but I would prefer not re-inventing the wheel. (2) When performing a sign test, the usual practice is to drop zero values. Is there any theoretical reason for doing this? I know it makes life a little easier (i.e. one need not decide how to handle zero values, how to split them between successes and failures) but is there more theory behind this theory?
