NON-PARAMETRIC TESTS
1. Introduction.
Non parametric tests are used if the assumptions for the parametric tests are not met, and are commonly called
distribution free tests.
The advantage of non-parametric tests is that we do not assume that the data come from any particular distribution
(hence the name). However if our assumptions are met we do get a stronger result from the use of parametric tests,
but if the assumptions are violated any conclusions drawn by using parametric tests are highly likely to be incorrect.
Usually the parametric methods rely on the assumption that the data come from a normally distributed population,
in which case ANOVA and t-tests etc. can be used. If this is not the case however, or the data are non-numerical
but are ranked etc. non-parametric tests can be used.
Parametric Tests Non-parametric equivalents
Independent t-test Mann Whitney test / Wilcoxon rank sum test
Dependent t-test Wilcoxon signed rank test
One-way independent ANOVA Kruskal Wallis test
Table 1. Parametric equivalents
2. Mann Whitney test / Wilcoxon rank sum test.
The Mann Whitney test was initially developed by Wilcoxon hence it is also known as the / Wilcoxon rank sum
test. This is used when we want to compare two independent samples, and the assumptions underlying the t-test
are not met. Consider the situation where a psychologist wants to copmare the reaction times of people to two
drugs. Randomly people are assingned to groups where the 鍖rst group recieves drug A, and the other recieves drug
B. To compare the probability distributions of group A and B, the reaction times in each group are recorded and
pooled, the rank of each observation in the pooled sample is then recorded. The test statistic is the rank sum of
the smaller group and the following hypothesis can then be tested.
 H0 The probability distributions of the groups for each of the two products (in our case drugs) are identical.
 H1 The probability distributions of the groups di鍖er, (either one sided or two sided alternatives can be
considered.)
2.1. Assumptions.
 The two samples are random and independent.
 The two probability distributions from which the samples are dawn are continuous.
3. Wilcoxon signed rank test.
The Wilcoxon test is used when we are unwilling to make assumptions about the form of the underlying population
probability distributions, but we want compare paired samples. Analogous to the dependent t-test we are interested
in the di鍖erence in two measurements taken from each person, for example consider a person being asked to score
two 鍖lms on some scale (say 1 to 10), the signed rank test takes the absolute value of the di鍖erences between the
scores for each 鍖lm from each person and ranks the absolute value of the di鍖erences from the smallest (rank 1)
to the largest (rank n). The rank sum of the positive (T+) and negative (T) di鍖erences are then calculated, the
smallest of these is used as the test statistic to test the hypothesis,
 H0 The probability distributions of the ratings for each of the two products (in our case 鍖lms) are identical.
 H1 The probability distributions of the ratings di鍖er, (either one sided or two sided alternatives can be
considered.)

3.1. Assumptions.
 The sample of di鍖erences is randomly selected from the population of di鍖erences.
 The two probability distributions from which the sample of paired di鍖erences is dawn is continuous.
4. Kruskal Wallis test.
The Kruskal Wallis test is a non-parametric technique for comparing two or more populations, i.e. analogous to
ANOVA. Just as in the case of two independent samples the ranks are computed for each observation according to
the relative magnitude of the measurements when the data for all the samples are combined. The test statistic is
computed which is a function of the rank sums for each sample, and the following hypothesis is tested.
 H0The probability distributions for each sample are identical.
 H1 At least two of the probability distributions di鍖er in location.
4.1. Assumptions.
 The p samples are random and independent.
 There are 5 or more measurements in each sample.
 The p probability distributions from which the samples are dawn are continuous.
5. Other non-parametric tests.
 The Sign Test can be used for single population inferences.
 The Friedman Test used for a randomized block design.
