  1. The asymptotic significance is part of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test results. The null hypothesis that the performance of the two algorithms is the same is tested at the 95% confidence level (significance level: α = . 05). Results show that TN-GEO is on par with all the SOTA algorithms. We also report the count for TN-GEO wins, losses, and ties, compared to each of the other algorithms.
