This course will enable the students to perform a range of nonparametric methods and robust procedures that do not assume that the sample data are from pre-specified families of distribution.
We will first look at the definition of scales of measurement, the pros and cons for weak assumptions, test of locations and other distribution-free methods. This will prepare students who are interested in research (qualitative and quantitative), socio-economic and environmental problems, and ratings (movie, celebrities etc.) to name a few.
