Nonparametric vs Parametric Tests of Location in Biomedical Research

Nonparametric vs parametric tests of location in biomedical research.

d t p d t A d n HE CHOICE OF STATISTICAL TEST HAS A PROFOUND impact on the interpretation of data. Understanding this choice is important for the critical evaluation of he biomedical literature. The question often arises hether to use nonparametric or parametric tests. The test is the most widely used statistical test for comparing he means of 2 independent groups. This parametric test ssumes t...

Validation of drop plate technique for bacterial enumeration by parametric and nonparametric tests

Drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. The objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. For bacterial enumeration...

Model Selection Error Rates in Nonparametric vs. Parametric Model Comparisons

Since the introduction of Akaike’s information criteria (AIC) in 1973, many information criteria have been developed and widely used in model selection. Many papers concerning the justification of criteria followed, particularly with respect to model selection error rates (the probability of selecting a wrong model). A model selection criterion is called consistent if the model selection error ...
