What is the difference between parametric and non parametric?

Nonparametric tests are sometimes called distribution free statistics because they do not require that the data fit a normal distribution. Nonparametric tests require less restrictive assumptions about the data than parametric restrictions. We can perform the analysis of categorical and rank data using nonparametric tests.


Is parametric test stronger than nonparametric test?

If the distribution is parametric then yes.


What are examples of parametric and nonparametric statistical tests?

Parametric statistical tests assume that your data are normally distributed (follow a classic bell-shaped curve). An example of a parametric statistical test is the Student's t-test.Non-parametric tests make no such assumption. An example of a non-parametric statistical test is the Sign Test.


What are the three differences between parametric and non-parametric statistics?

1. A nonparametric statistic has no inference 2. A nonparametric statistic has no standard error 3. A nonparametric statistic is an element in a base population (universe of possibilities) where every possible event in the population is known and can be characterized * * * * * That is utter rubbish and a totally irresponsible answer. In parametric statistics, the variable of interest is distributed according to some distribution that is determined by a small number of parameters. In non-parametric statistics there is no underlying parametric distribution. With non-parametric data you can compare between two (or more) possible distributions (goodness-of-fit), test for correlation between variables. Some test, such as the Student's t, chi-square are applicable for parametric as well as non-parametric statistics. I have, therefore, no idea where the previous answerer got his/her information from!


What nonparametric test does not have comparable parametric test?

A classic would be the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
