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...

Biography

Markus Neuhauser

there are substantial amounts of SAS code in the body of the work, and a briefer account of R code in an appendix. … While many standard statistical software packages include the classic nonparametric procedures, this volume presents many recent ones that have not found their way into most software yet, hence the need to include code for these techniques. … The writing is clear and concise … The work is more free than most recent works from the kinds of errors spell checkers do not find. Highly recommended to anyone familiar with the classic nonparametric tests who wants an update (and extensive bibliography) concerning recent results.
