Nonparametric Multivariate Kurtosis and Tailweight Measures
For nonparametric exploration or description of a distribution, the treatment of location, spread, symmetry and skewness is followed by characterization of kurtosis. Classical momentbased kurtosis measures the dispersion of a distribution about its “shoulders”. Here we consider quantile-based kurtosis measures. These are robust, are defined more widely, and discriminate better among shapes. A u...
متن کاملMann - Withney multivariate nonparametric control chart.
In many quality control applications, the necessary distributional assumptions to correctly apply the traditional parametric control charts are either not met or there is simply not enough information or evidence to verify the assumptions. It is well known that performance of many parametric control charts can be seriously degraded in situations like this. Thus, control charts that do not requi...
متن کاملNonparametric Multivariate Descriptive Measures Based on Spatial Quantiles
An appealing way of working with probability distributions, especially in nonparametric inference, is through “descriptive measures” that characterize features of particular interest. One attractive approach is to base the measures on quantiles. Here we consider the multivariate context and utilize the “spatial quantiles”, a recent vector extension of univariate quantiles that is becoming incre...
متن کاملMultivariate Nonparametric Regression
As in many areas of biostatistics, oncological problems often have multivariate predictors. While assuming a linear additive model is convenient and straightforward, it is often not satisfactory when the relation between the outcome measure and the predictors is either nonlinear or nonadditive. In addition, when the number of predictors becomes (much) larger than the number of independent obser...
متن کاملMultivariate And Multistrata Nonparametric Tests: The NonParametric Combination Method
Researchers and practitioners in many scientific disciplines and industrial fields are often faced with complex problems when dealing with comparisons between two or more groups using classical parametric methods. The data arising from real problems rarely are in agreement with stringent parametric assumptions. The NonParametric Combination (NPC) methodology frees the researcher from stringent ...
