Nonparametric methods revolutionize scientific research with versatile and reliable tests.
Nonparametric methods in scientific research offer flexibility and reliability without strict assumptions. These methods are useful for studies with small sample sizes or qualitative data. Part 2 of the article focuses on nonparametric goodness-of-fit tests like Pearson’s and Kolmogorov tests, as well as tests for homogeneity like chi-squared and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests. These tests compare empirical and theoretical distributions to detect differences. Kolmogorov test is more sensitive than Pearson’s chi-squared test in capturing subtle nuances. The article provides examples and step-by-step instructions for applying these tests, giving researchers a practical tool for statistical analysis.
