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 ...

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.

Multiple event data are frequently encountered in medical follow-up, engineering and other applications when the multiple events are considered as the major outcomes. They may be repetitions of the ...

The frequency of left-handedness in the general population is around 11%. Both environmental and genetic models have been proposed to explain the aetiology of human handedness. The majority of genetic ...

Parametric CFD analysis lets users statistically determine the fluid flow around a device. Fluid dynamics is one of the primary engineering sciences used to design a wide variety of vehicles, machines ...

Abstract: Streamflow disaggregation techniques are used to distribute a single aggregate flow value to multiple sites in both space and time while preserving distributional statistics (i.e., mean, ...
