Introduction
Prescribed course concerns with the non-parametric approach instead of using the vast variety of parametric statistics test due to violating the assumption of normality in the data. Course also enlightens the significance of different supplementary tests those have no concern with the distribution of the data (should normally distributed) or central limit approach. This course based on the utilization of non-parametric tests specifically in such situation where fulfillment of assumptions relating to sample (data) is quiet difficult. Another direction of the course indicates the real life applications, problems and their solutions in applied field of statistics.
Learning Outcomes
After successfully completing the course students will be able to:
- Understand the basic concepts, assumptions, procedure and use of non-parametric tests
- Exhibit skills in analysing data measured on nominal or ordinal scale and interpreting the results
- Demostrate the ability to apply non parametric tests on real life data by using SPSS
