Nonparametric Statistical Tests: A Computational Approach describes
classical nonparametric tests, as well as novel and little-known
methods such as the Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler and the Cucconi
tests. The book presents SAS and R programs, allowing readers to
carry out the different statistical methods, such as permutation
and bootstrap tests. The author considers example data sets in each
chapter to illustrate methods. Numerous real-life data from various
areas, including the bible, and their analyses provide for greatly
diversified reading. The book covers: Nonparametric two-sample
tests for the location-shift model, specifically the Fisher-Pitman
permutation test, the Wilcoxon rank sum test, and the
Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler test Permutation tests, location-scale
tests, tests for the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem, and
tests for a difference in variability Tests for the general
alternative, including the (Kolmogorov-)Smirnov test, ordered
categorical, and discrete numerical data Well-known one-sample
tests such as the sign test and Wilcoxon's signed rank test, a
modification suggested by Pratt (1959), a permutation test with
original observations, and a one-sample bootstrap test are
presented. Tests for more than two groups, the following tests are
described in detail: the Kruskal-Wallis test, the permutation F
test, the Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test, tests for umbrella
alternatives, and the Friedman and Page tests for multiple
dependent groups The concepts of independence and correlation, and
stratified tests such as the van Elteren test and combination tests
The applicability of computer-intensive methods such as bootstrap
and permutation tests for non-standard situations and complex
designs Although the major development of nonparametric methods
came to a certain end in the 1970s, their importance undoubtedly
persists. What is still needed is a computer assisted evaluation of
their main properties. This book closes that gap.
