About this Item

Paperback. The new edition of Hollander and Wolfe's classic text on nonparametric statistical methods The importance of nonparametric methods in modern statistics has grown dramatically since their inception in the mid-1930s. Requiring few or no assumptions about the populations from which data are obtained, they have emerged as the preferred methodology among statisticians and researchers performing data analysis. Today, these highly efficient techniques are being applied to an ever-widening variety of experimental designs in the social, behavioral, biological, and physical sciences. This long-awaited Second Edition of Myles Hollander and Douglas A. Wolfe's successful Nonparametric Statistical Methods meets the needs of a new generation of users, with completely up-to-date coverage of this important statistical area. Like its highly acclaimed predecessor, the revised edition, along with its companion ftp site, aims to equip readers with the conceptual and technical skills necessary to select and apply the appropriate procedures for a given situation.An extensive array of examples drawn from actual experiments illustrates clearly how to use nonparametric approaches to handle one- or two-sample location and dispersion problems, dichotomous data, and one-way and two-way layout problems. Rewritten and updated, this Second Edition now includes new or expanded coverage of:Nonparametric regression methodsThe bootstrapContingency tables and the odds ratioLife distributions and survival analysisNonparametric methods for experimental designs Plus:More procedures, real-world data sets, and problemsIllustrated examples using Minitab and StatXact An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Second Edition is also an invaluable source for professionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developments within this dynamic branch of modern statistics. The importance of nonparametric methods in modern statistics has grown dramatically since their inception in the mid-1930s. Requiring few or no assumptions about the populations from which data are obtained, they have emerged as the preferred methodology among statisticians and researchers performing data analysis.

Synopsis

The importance of nonparametric methods in modern statistics hasgrown dramatically since their inception in the mid-1930s.Requiring few or no assumptions about the populations from whichdata are obtained, they have emerged as the preferred methodologyamong statisticians and researchers performing data analysis.Today, these highly efficient techniques are being applied to anever-widening variety of experimental designs in the social,behavioral, biological, and physical sciences.

This long-awaited Second Edition of Myles Hollander and Douglas A.Wolfe's successful Nonparametric Statistical Methods meets theneeds of a new generation of users, with completely up-to-datecoverage of this important statistical area. Like its highlyacclaimed predecessor, the revised edition, along with itscompanion ftp site, aims to equip students with the conceptual andtechnical skills necessary to select and apply the appropriateprocedures for a given situation. An extensive array of examplesdrawn from actual experiments illustrates clearly how to usenonparametric approaches to handle one- or two-sample location anddispersion problems, dichotomous data, and one-way and two-waylayout problems. Rewritten and updated, this Second Edition nowincludes new or expanded coverage of:
* Nonparametric regression methods.
* The bootstrap.
* Contingency tables and the odds ratio.
* Life distributions and survival analysis.
* Nonparametric methods for experimental designs.
* More procedures, real-world data sets, and problems.
* Illustrated examples using Minitab and StatXact.

An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-yeargraduate course, this text is also an invaluable source forprofessionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developmentswithin this dynamic branch of modern statistics.

An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all theproblems in the book is available upon request from the Wileyeditorial department.
