Hi,
the manual for 'sign_test(x,y,alt)' says, that, if given the string '>' as
alternative, it is tested, whether "x is stochastically greater than y".


sign_test(zeros(1,1000),ones(1,1000),'<')
  pval: 9.33264e-302
sign_test(zeros(1,1000),ones(1,1000),'>')
  pval: 1


I may be mistaken, but as far as I understand, the outputs should be swaped to
be correct.
