Thirdly, this method compares design points via evaluating entire sample distributions using anon-parametrictestas opposed to via the sample mean.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Anon-parametrictestshows that this difference is statistically significant (p 0.10), which is noteworthy considering the skewed distribution of the infringement variable.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Unlike parametric methods, threshold values of thenon-parametrictestare not influenced by the proportion of zeros in bacteria counts.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Some data were not distributed normally and were resistant to transformations so more conservative, non-parametric tests were used.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Where data could not be normalized, non-parametric tests were used.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In all cases the data were not normally distributed and thus non-parametric tests were applied.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Additionally, non-parametric tests were utilized to check for the equality of distributions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If both the parametric and the non-parametric tests yielded significant results, then we only report the parametric tests.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Where normalization was not possible both parametric and non-parametric tests were used.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, for comparison we present all results using non-parametric tests.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
Attempts to compare distributions of, say, family size were unsuccessful as the non-parametric tests did not prove sensitive with these numbers.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Because of the skewed distribution of categoric memories, all results were confirmed with non-parametric tests.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Although the distribution of the above variables required the use of medians and non-parametric tests for statistical analysis, mean costs can be useful when calculating total costs.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Dispersal distances were not normally distributed, even after appropriate transformations, so non-parametric tests were used.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Non-parametric tests were used when required.
