Preferred Label : statistics, nonparametric;
MeSH definition : A class of statistical methods applicable to a large set of probability distributions
used to test for correlation, location, independence, etc. In most nonparametric statistical
tests, the original scores or observations are replaced by another variable containing
less information. An important class of nonparametric tests employs the ordinal properties
of the data. Another class of tests uses information about whether an observation
is above or below some fixed value such as the median, and a third class is based
on the frequency of the occurrence of runs in the data. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary
of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed, p1284; Corsini, Concise Encyclopedia of
Psychology, 1987, p764-5);
