A Contingency Table Approach to Nonparametric Testing

by J.C.W. Rayner, D.J. Best

Overview

Most texts on nonparametric techniques concentrate on location and linear-linear (correlation) tests, with less emphasis on dispersion effects and linear-quadratic tests. Tests for higher moment effects are virtually ignored. Using a fresh approach, A Contingency Table Approach to Nonparametric Testing unifies and extends the popular, standard test

Editorial Reviews

"I found many of the ideas in this book interesting and compelling... this book presents an interesting modernization of certain classical nonparametric tests in terms of contingency tables. The authors have made a valuable contribution to the statistical literature..."
-Biometrics, December 2001

"Although its subject is highly technical, the book somehow maintains a good balance between theories and application. The excellent Appendix is self-contained and very easy to read…Overall, this book is an excellent addition to the statistical literature…"
