Values equal to the null hypothesized value are removed. the quantile test proportion is 0.5), this quantile test is called the Sign Test.Įach of the values in the sample is compared to the null hypothesized quantile value and determined whether it is larger or smaller. When the quantile of interest is the median (i.e. The Quantile Test tests whether the null hypothesized quantile value is the quantile for the quantile test proportion. Both can be applied in the case where there is only one group with continuous data. The nonparametric Quantile Test (or Sign Test) and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test are nonparametric analogs to the one-sample or paired T-test. There you will find formulas, references, discussions, and examples or tutorials describing the procedure in detail. If you would like to examine the formulas and technical details relating to a specific NCSS procedure, click on the corresponding ‘’ link under each heading to load the complete procedure documentation. This page is designed to give a general overview of the nonparametric methods available in NCSS. Some nonparametric statistics are output by more than one procedure in the software. This page describes the various nonparametric methods available in NCSS Statistical Software. For example, when the assumption of normality of residuals in One-Way ANOVA is violated, a common practice is to use the analogous Kruskal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA on ranks. When the normality assumption is violated, nonparametric analysis methods are often employed for inference. Many parametric statistical methods require an assumption of Normality. That is, nonparametric statistical methods are “distribution-free.” Parametric methods often make inference about means and variances, while nonparametric methods often make inference about medians, ranks, and percentiles.

Nonparametric methods are statistical analysis methods that require no assumptions about an underlying probability distribution.
