five terms that you do not know the meaning of in the paper. DEFINE these terms Non parametric statistics: is defined to be a function on a sample that has no dependency on a parameter, and whose interpretation does not depend on the population fitting any parametrized distributions. Statistics based on the ranks of observations are one example of such statistics and these play a central role in many non-parametric approaches. Stippled Area: is the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees

between parametric and non-parametric statistics and explain when to use each method in analysis of data. I shall first seek to define what parametric and non-parametric statistics mean and then compare and contrast them in the analysis of data. Parametric statistics is a branch of statistics that assumes that the data has come from a type of probability distribution and makes inferences about the parameters of the distribution. Most well-known elementary statistical methods are parametric. (According

6 - NONPARAMETRIC TESTS FOR COMPARING TWO POPULATIONS In situations where the normality of the population(s) is suspect or the sample sizes are so small that checking normality is not really feasible, it is sometimes preferable to use nonparametric tests to make inferences about “average” value. Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test (a.k.a. Mann-Whitney U Test) This test is an alternative to the two-sample t-test for comparing the “average” value of two populations where the samples from each population

Nonparametric Hypothesis Testing RES/342 Nonparametric Hypothesis Testing During the course of the last three weeks, the team explored the hypothesis testing segment of statistics research. The first part of this assignment was the one sample hypothesis testing. The second was the two or more sample hypothesis testing, and finally in this third week, we will look at nonparametric hypothesis testing. This week’s project is a continuation of the previous projects and entails to build on

that you are interested in. If you are testing the mean for a single sample, are you testing the mean to be 0, or are you testing the mean against some non-zero value. If so, do remember to change the input in SPSS correspondingly. Similarly if you are testing the means for two samples, are you testing for the difference to be zero, or against a non-zero difference. Essentially, think through your hypotheses before doing any testings! When comparing between two groups, it is absolutely essential to

larger population. We provide background about parametric and nonparametric statistics and then show basic inferential statistics that examine associations among variables and tests of differences between groups. Parametric and Nonparametric Statistics In the world of statistics, distinctions are made in the types of analyses that can be used by the evaluator based on distribution assumptions and the levels of measurement data. For example, parametric statistics are based on the assumption of normal

test statistics. The examined statistics were based on t-test with cross sectional independence, t-test with standardized abnormal return and t-test with adjusted standardized abnormal return. These tests are the parametric tests for abnormality, the authors also conducted non-parametric test such as rank test, sign test and generalized sign test. The event days are specified by simulation and uniform distribution is assumed. After event day specification the impact of 0.5% and 2% are added to abnormal
