“pp” = percentage points; “+/n” is the count of paired comparisons in which CarLab 2025 had the higher value. Mean (sd) and 95% CI are computed on the paired differences (CarLab 2025 minus reference); the CI is a paired bootstrap percentile interval over 2×105 resamples. The Wilcoxon p is the two-sided exact p-value of the paired signed-rank statistic under its discrete null distribution; the per-class CarLab 2025 vs. da Silva Moura 2024 comparison contains one tied pair which the Wilcoxon test drops before computing W. We additionally verified each row against a sign test, a paired t-test, and a sign-flip permutation test, all of which agreed with the Wilcoxon conclusions.
