Chapter 14 - Learning Objectives Differentiate between nonparametric and parametric hypothesis tests. Determine when a nonparametric test should be used instead of its parametric counterpart. Appropriately apply each of the nonparametric methods introduced. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Chapter 14 Key Terms Nonparametric tests Wilcoxon signed rank test: One sample Paired samples Wilcoxon rank sum test, two independent samples Kruskal-Wallis Test, three or more independent samples Friedman test, randomized block design Sign Test, paired samples Runs test for randomness Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality Spearman coefficient of rank correlation © 2011 Cengage Learning.

Nonparametric Tests Advantages: Fewer assumptions about the population Shape Variance Valid for small samples Defined over a range of variables, nominal and ordinal scales included Calculations simple Disadvantages: Sample data used less efficiently Power of nonparametric analysis lower Places greater reliance on statistical tables if computer statistical package or spreadsheet not being used © 2011 Cengage Learning.

Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, One Sample Requirements: Variable - Continuous data Scale - Interval or ratio scale of measurement The Research Question (H a ): Test the value of a single population median, m { , >, <} m 0 Critical Value/Decision Rule: W, Wilcoxon signed rank test © 2011 Cengage Learning.

An Example Problem 14.8: According to the director of a county tourist bureau, there is a median of 10 hours of sunshine per day during the summer months. For a random sample of 20 days during the past three summers, the number of hours of sunshine has been recorded below. Use the 0.05 level in evaluating the director’s claim. 8 9 810 9 7 7 9 7 7 9 811 9 10 7 811 812 © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Problem 14.8, continued I. H 0 : m = 10 hours H 1 : m 10 hours II. Rejection Region: = 0.05, n = 18 data values not equal to the hypothesized median of 10 If R+ 130, reject H 0. III.

Problem 14.8, concluded IV. Conclusion: Since the test statistic of R+ = 18.5 falls below the critical value of W = 41, we reject H 0 with at least 95% confidence. V. Implications: There is enough evidence to dispute the director’s claim that this county has a median of 10 hours of sunshine per day during the summer months. © 2011 Cengage Learning.

Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test for Comparing Paired Samples Requirements: Variable - Continuous data Scale - Interval or ratio scale of measurement The Research Question (H 1 ): Test the difference in two population medians, paired samples, m d { , >, <} 0 Critical Value/Decision Rule: W, Wilcoxon rank sum test © 2011 Cengage Learning.

Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test for Comparing Two Independent Samples Requirements: Variable - Continuous data Scale – At least ordinal scale of measurement The Research Question (H 1 ): Test the difference in two population medians from two independent samples, m 1 { , >, <} m 2 Critical Value/Decision Rule: W, Wilcoxon rank sum test © 2011 Cengage Learning.

13
Kruskal-Wallis Test, Comparing More Than Two Independent Samples Requirements: Scale - Ordinal, interval or ratio scale Independent samples from populations with identical distributions The Research Question (H 1 ): At least one of the medians differs from the others. © 2011 Cengage Learning.
