Non-Parametric Tests: Meaning and Types | Data Analysis | Statistics

Read this article to learn about:- 1. Meaning of Non-Parametric Tests 2. Important Types of Non-Parametric Tests 3. Non-Parametric Vs. Distribution-Free Tests. Meaning of Non-Parametric Tests: Statistical tests that do not require the estimate of population variance or mean and do not state hypotheses about parameters are considered non-parametric tests. Non-parametric tests are also referred to as distribution-free tests. These [...]

Multiplicative Law of Probability | Data Analysis | Statistics

Then if the two classifications are independent of each other, a cell probability will equal the product of its respective row and column probabilities in accordance with the multiplicative law of probability. Example of obtaining Column and Row Probabilities: For example, the probability that a particular defect will occur in shift 1 and is of type A is (p1) (pA). [...]
