Nonparametric statistics

In this tutorial we show how to implement some nonparametric statistics technique with Tanagra.

Various approaches are available: difference between populations for independent and related samples, nonparametric correlations, measures of association between nominal variables, etc.

Keywords: tests for independent samples, tests for related samples, analysis of variance, measures of association, wald and wolfowitz runs test, mann and whitney test, kruskal and wallis, spearman's rho, kendall's tau, sign test, wilcoxon signed rank test
Components: Mann-Whitney Comaprison, Wald-Wolfowitz Runs Test, Kruskal-Wallis 1-way ANOVA, One-way ANOVA, Spearman’s rho, Kendall’s tau, Sign Test, Wilconxon Ranks Test, Paired T-Test
