An Introduction to Nonparametric Statistics presents techniques for statistical analysis in the absence of strong assumptions about the distributions generating the data. Rank-based and resampling techniques are heavily represented, but robust techniques are considered as well. These techniques include one-sample testing and estimation, multi-sample testing and estimation, and regression.... Read more

Biography

John Kolassa is Professor of Statistics and Biostatistics, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.

'In my opinion, nonparametric tests, proposed in the book can be applied in a wide range of scientific fields, and scientists who are not familiar with mathematics but have a basic knowledge of working in R can find many useful techniques for analysing their research data.'
