A non-parametric test for the bivariate c-sample problem is proposed. The test is an extension of a bivariate two-sample test given by Mardia (1967) and possesses various desirable properties. We ...

Parametric tests make assumptions that aspects of the data follow some sort of theoretical probability distribution. Non-parametric tests or distribution free methods do not, and are used when the ...

In this article, we revisit some problems in non-parametric hypothesis testing. First, we extend the classical result of Bahadur & Savage [Ann. Math. Statist. 25 (1956) 1115] to other testing problems ...

The Wilcoxon signed rank test, which is also known as the Wilcoxon signed rank sum test and the Wilcoxon matched pairs test, is a non-parametric statistical test used to compare two dependent samples ...

The Mann-Whitney U Test, also known as the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test, is a non-parametric statistical test used to compare two samples or groups. The Mann-Whitney U Test assesses whether two sampled ...

Nonparametric methods form an important core of statistical techniques and are typically used when data do not meet parametric assumptions. Understanding the foundation of these methods, as well as ...
