Various statistical methods have been published for comparative anatomy. However, few studies compared parametric and nonparametric statistical methods. Moreover, some previous studies using statistical method for comparative anatomy (SMCA) proposed the formula for comparison of groups of anatomical structures (multiple structures) among different species. The present paper described the usage ...

Scholz and Stephens (1987, Journal of the American Statistical Association 82, 918-924) proposed a nonparametric k-sample Anderson-Darling statistic for grouped data. This note demonstrates that a partition-of-chi 2 method may give a more powerful nonparametric test, particularly when alternatives other than location shift are important. A taste-test example provides motivation.

Urbanization has been proven to be a critical factor in modifying local or regional climate characteristics. This research aims examine the impact of urbanization on extreme indices Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB), China, by using meteorological observation data from 2000 2019. Three main steps are involved. First, clustered threshold method based remote-sensing nighttime light is used extra...

drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. the objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. for bacterial enumeration...

abstract in this research, temporal trends of reference evapotranspiration (et0) values were investigated in arid regions of iran. for this purpose, the meteorological observations collected from 11 high quality meteorological sites for a 41-year period (1965-2005) were used and statistically significant et0 trends in the monthly, seasonal and annual time basis were detected by the non-parametr...

We propose a nonparametric statistical test for goodness-of-fit: given a set of samples, the test determines how likely it is that these were generated from a target density function. The measure of goodness-of-fit is a divergence constructed via Stein’s method using functions from a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space. Our test statistic is based on an empirical estimate of this divergence, takin...

temperature is one of the most important climate variables that many economic and social plans related to its changes. because of the importance of this issue, this study investigated the changes of it in the province khuzestan. meteorological data that used in this study is mean temperature in annual and seasonal timescale. the study area is abadan, ahwaz, dezful and omidiye stations. for anal...

Conventional statistical tests are usually called parametric tests. Parametric tests are used more frequently than nonparametric tests in many medical articles, because most of the medical researchers are familiar with and the statistical software packages strongly support parametric tests. Parametric tests require important assumption; assumption of normality which means that distribution of s...

In this study, a comprehensive trend analysis was employed to study the spatiotemporal changes in precipitation characteristics with air temperature increasing over time. The nonparametric Mann–Kendall test and quantile regression methods were applied detect plausible temporal trends 11 extreme rainfall indices three study. results showed there little evidence suggest that increases maximum of ...
