On Some Nonparametric Tests For Partially Observed Correlated Data: Proposing New Tests

Some nonparametric statistical tests for quick evaluation of clinical data.

Some rapid statistical tests give (a) rapid answers on how well methods agree and control chart evaluation (sign and run tests) and (b) evaluation of distribution of test results (Tukey's quick test and run test). These tests mainly require counting of data and the use of the given nomograms. An unusual distribution of patient test values--that is, unusual when compared with the generally obser...

New Multi - Sample Nonparametric Tests for Panel Count Data

This paper considers the problem of multi-sample nonparametric comparison of counting processes with panel count data, which arise naturally when recurrent events are considered. Such data frequently occur in medical follow-up studies and reliability experiments, for example. For the problem considered, we construct two new classes of nonparametric test statistics based on the accumulated weigh...

Nonparametric Tests for Independence

Glossary Hypothesis A hypothesis is a statement concerning the (joint) distribution underlying the observed data. Nonparametric test In contrast to a parametric test, a nonparametric test does not presume a particular parametric structure concerning the data generating process. Serial dependence Statistical dependence among time series observations.

Nonparametric Tests for Interchangeability

Some nonparametric tests for the hypothesis of interchangeability of the elements of a (stochastic) 2-vector under competing risks model are proposed and studied here. Both fixed sample and sequential procedures are studied. The case of progressively censored nonparametric procedures is also presented. Along with some martingale theorems on allied rank statistics, their weak convergence results...
