Course TopicsThis short course will provide an overview of non-parametric statistical techniques. The course will first describe what non-parametric statistics are, when they should be used, and their ...

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 ...

We will list assumptions that are required for parametric tests, and then discuss specific nonparametric tests, such as the rank-sum and signed-rank test (alternatives to the t-test*), the ...

In the common non-parametric regression model the problem of testing for the parametric form of the conditional variance is considered. A stochastic process based on the difference between the ...
