Course Objectives The objective of this course is to understand the nonparametric approach and to use some of the basic nonparametric techniques.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to use key concepts of nonparametric statistics to explore random samples.
  • will be able to apply the approximate nonparamteric statistical techniques.
  • will be able to use order statistics.
  • will be able to apply of randomness based on runs.
  • will be able to solve general two-sample problems.
  • will be able to discuss linear rank statistics.
Course Description Most of the nonparametric techniques are based on order statistics, runs, and ranks. Therefore the theory of order statistics, runs, and rank statistics is extensively studied.
