I know what the term means in Statistics, but would have no feel for what sounds natural in Polish. Does wielkości różnic" seem more like a very general phrase "size of the differences" rather than a technical term? I was aiming for "differences between the scores" which is pretty much equivalent to "score difference"

Asker: IMHO sounds anything but natural... Still, I should leave the decision to experts in the field. Perhaps "wielkości różnic" is an acceptable solution here?
