Quantitative Data – Parametric & Non-parametric Tests
Assumption for 1 sample T test: Data are normally distributed. We have discussed in the last article on how to check the normality assumption of a quantitative data. One issue being highlighted was that these formal normality tests are very sensitive to the sample size of the variable concerned. As seen here, table II shows that the normality assumptions for both the systolic and diastolic bloo...
متن کاملBenchmarking Non-Parametric Statistical Tests
Although non-parametric tests have already been proposed for that purpose, statistical significance tests for non-standard measures (different from the classification error) are less often used in the literature. This paper is an attempt at empirically verifying how these tests compare with more classical tests, on various conditions. More precisely, using a very large dataset to estimate the w...
متن کاملNon-Parametric Paired Data
Non-parametric paired analyses are approached through the same logic as the parametric paired t-tests: a 2 sample paired analysis can be reduced to a 1 sample test by creating a single distribution of the differences between each pair. If the distribution of the differences are nonnormal, and cannot be normalized by transforming the data to some other ratio scale, a 1 sample non-parametric test...
متن کاملStochastic Non-Parametric Frontier Analysis
In this paper we develop an approach that synthesizes the best features of the two main methods in the estimation of production efficiency. Specically, our approach first allows for statistical noise, similar to Stochastic frontier analysis, and second, it allows modeling multiple-inputs-multiple-outputs technologies without imposing parametric assumptions on production relationship, similar to...
متن کاملA Generalized Parametric Selection Model for Non-Normal Data
I develop a new approach for sample selection problems that allows parametric forms of any type to be chosen for both for the selection and the observed variables. The Generalized Parametric Selection (GPS) model can incorporate both duration and count data models, unlike previous parametric models. MLE does not require numerical integration or simulation techniques, unlike previous models for ...
