Some Nonparametric Statistical Tests for Quick Evaluation of Clinical Data

Some nonparametric statistical tests for quick evaluation of clinical data.

Some rapid statistical tests give (a) rapid answers on how well methods agree and control chart evaluation (sign and run tests) and (b) evaluation of distribution of test results (Tukey's quick test and run test). These tests mainly require counting of data and the use of the given nomograms. An unusual distribution of patient test values--that is, unusual when compared with the generally obser...

Nonparametric symmetry tests for statistical functionals

Dedicated to the 70th birthday of Johann Pfanzagl Summary. Along the lines of Pfanzagl's work the testing theory for the non-parametric null hypothesis of symmetry (including matched pairs) is developed. The testing problem is typically given by a skew symmetric statistical functional which seems to be adequate for the nonparametric world. Under mild regularity assumptions asymptotically maximi...

A New Nonparametric Regression for Longitudinal Data

In many area of medical research, a relation analysis between one response variable and some explanatory variables is desirable. Regression is the most common tool in this situation. If we have some assumptions for such normality for response variable, we could use it. In this paper we propose a nonparametric regression that does not have normality assumption for response variable and we focus ...
