A non-parametric test for the bivariate c-sample problem is proposed. The test is an extension of a bivariate two-sample test given by Mardia (1967) and possesses various desirable properties. We ...

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 ...

In the common non-parametric regression model the problem of testing for the parametric form of the conditional variance is considered. A stochastic process based on the difference between the ...

Nonparametric methods form an important core of statistical techniques and are typically used when data do not meet parametric assumptions. Understanding the foundation of these methods, as well as ...
