The paper compares non-parametric (design-based) and parametric (model-based) approaches to the analysis of data in the form of replicated spatial point patterns in two or more experimental groups.

This short course will provide an overview of non-parametric statistical techniques. The course will first describe what non-parametric statistics are, when they should be used, and their advantages ...

A non-parametric method for paleohydrologic reconstruction (NPP) of streamflows using tree-ring chronologies is developed. The method uses pattern matching of chronologies in EOF-space (Empirical ...

We propose a non-parametric change-point test for long-range dependent data, which is based on the Wilcoxon two-sample test. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic under the null ...
