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.
How do you know whether data requires you to use a parametric or non parametric test?
Parametric tests assume that your data are normally distributed (i.e. follow a classic bell-shaped "Gaussian" curve). Non-parametric tests make no assumption about the shape of the distribution.
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.
What are examples of parametric statistical equations?
Parametric statistics is a branch of statistics that assumes data come from a type of probability distribution and makes inferences about the parameters of the distribution. See related link.
How do you compare parametric and non-parametric analysis?
In parametric analysis the underlying distributions of the variables are described by parameters. These may be known or it may be possible to estimate them from the observed data. In non-parametric analyses, the parameters are not used - either because they cannot be derived or because the tests do not require them.
