An Introduction to Nonparametric Statistics presents techniques for statistical analysis in the absence of strong assumptions about the distributions generating the data.　Rank-based and resampling techniques are heavily represented, but robust techniques are considered as well.　These techniques include one-sample testing and estimation, multi-sample testing and estimation, and regression.

Attention is paid to the intellectual development of the field, with a thorough review of bibliographical references.　Computational tools, in R and SAS, are developed and illustrated via examples. Exercises designed to reinforce examples are included.

Features

Rank-based techniques including sign, Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests are presented

Tests are inverted to produce estimates and confidence intervals

Multivariate tests are explored

Techniques reflecting the dependence of a response variable on explanatory variables are presented

Density estimation is explored

The bootstrap and jackknife are discussed

This text is intended for a graduate student in applied statistics.　The course is best taken after an introductory course in statistical methodology, elementary probability, and regression.　Mathematical prerequisites include calculus through multivariate differentiation and integration, and, ideally, a course in matrix algebra.

Industry Reviews

'In my opinion, nonparametric tests, proposed in the book can be applied in a wide range of scientific fields, and scientists who are not familiar with mathematics but have a basic knowledge of working in R can find many useful techniques for analysing their research data.'

-Maria Ivanchuk, International Society for Clinical Biostatistics, 71, 2021
