This short course will provide an overview of non-parametric statistical techniques. The course will first describe what non-parametric statistics are, when they should be used, and their advantages ...

Nonparametric estimation and U-statistics have emerged as vital tools in modern statistical analysis, offering robust alternatives to traditional parametric methods. Nonparametric techniques bypass ...

Person-fit assessment (PFA) is concerned with uncovering atypical test performance as reflected in the pattern of scores on individual items on a test. Existing person-fit statistics (PFSs) include ...

Abstract: Many rivers in the Western U.S. suffer from high salinity content due to both natural and human-induced causes. Computer simulation models are often used to estimate future salinity levels ...

A K-sample testing problem is studied for multivariate counting processes with time-dependent frailty. Asymptotic distributions and efficiency of a class of non-parametric test statistics are ...
