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 ...

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 ...

Understanding and exploring data: Often the decision to use a non-parametric approach is made based on the type of data or after exploring the distribution of the sample data. The p-values from a ...

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 ...
