Nonparametric Methods
Chapter 6 Nonparametric Methods CHAPTER VI; SECTION A: INTRODUCTION TO NONPARAMETRIC METHODS Purposes of Nonparametric Methods: Nonparametric methods are uniquely useful for testing nominal (categorical) and ordinal (ordered) scaled data--situations where parametric tests are not generally available. An important second use is when an underlying assumption for a parametric method has been violated. In this case, the interval/ratio scale data can be easily transformed into ordinal scale data and the counterpart nonparametric method can be used. Inferential and Descriptive Statistics: The nonparametric methods described in this chapter are used for both inferential and descriptive statistics. Inferential statistics use data to draw inferences (i.e., derive conclusions) or to make predictions. In this chapter, nonparametric inferential statistical methods are used to draw conclusions about one or more populations from which the data samples have been taken. Descriptive statistics aren’t used to make predictions but to describe the data. This is often best done using graphical methods. Examples: An analyst or engineer might be interested to assess the evidence regarding: 1. The difference between the mean/median accident rates of several marked and unmarked crosswalks (when parametric Student’s t test is invalid because sample distributions are not normal). 2. The differences between the absolute average errors between two types of models for forecasting traffic flow (when analysis of variance is invalid because distribution of errors is not normal). 3. The relationship between the airport site evaluation ordinal rankings of two sets of judges, i.e., citizens and airport professionals. 4. The differences between neighborhood districts in their use of a regional mall for purposes of planning transit routes. -

Agricolae Tutorial (Version 1.3-5) Preface
agricolae tutorial (Version 1.3-5) F elipe de Mendiburu(1) 2021-06-05 1 Preface The following document was developed to facilitate the use of agricolae package in R, it is understood that the user knows the statistical methodology for the design and analysis of experiments and through the use of the functions programmed in agricolae facilitate the generation of the field book experimental design and their analysis. The first part document describes the use of graph.freq role is complemen- tary to the hist function of R functions to facilitate the collection of statistics and frequency table, statistics or grouped data histogram based training grouped data and graphics as frequency polygon or ogive; second part is the development of experimental plans and numbering of the units as used in an agricultural experiment; a third part corresponding to the comparative tests and finally provides agricolae miscellaneous additional functions applied in agricultural research and stability functions, soil consistency, late blight simulation and others. 1 Introduction The package agricolae offers a broad functionality in the design of experiments, especially for experi- ments in agriculture and improvements of plants, which can also be used for other purposes. It contains the following designs: lattice, alpha, cyclic, balanced incomplete block designs, complete randomized blocks, Latin, Graeco-Latin, augmented block designs, split plot and strip plot. It also has several procedures of experimental data analysis, such as the comparisons of treatments of Waller-Duncan, Bonferroni, Duncan, Student-Newman-Keuls, Scheffe, Ryan, Einot and Gabriel and Welsch multiple range test or the classic LSD and Tukey; and non-parametric comparisons, such as Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, Durbin, Median and Waerden, stability analysis, and other procedures applied in genetics, as well as procedures in biodiversity and descriptive statistics, De Mendiburu(2009) 1.1 Installation The main program of R should be already installed in the platform of your computer (Windows, Linux or MAC). -

The rank transform method has good test sizes and powers for the 5 × 5 Latin square for various parameter values and error distributions. Alignment procedures are also examined and their use illustrated using data for replicated Latin squares. _____________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Aligned data, Kruskal-Wallis statistic, Rank transform statistic, replicated Latin square. 1. Introduction Nonparametric tests for some of the simpler experimental designs are well known. Three of the best known are the Kruskal-Wallis test for the one-way layout, the Friedman test for randomised blocks and the Durbin test for the balanced incomplete block design.
