The aim of this course is to introduce students to the methods of Non parametric techniques (goodness-of-fit tests, ranks etc) as well as their application to real practical problems. At the end of the course the student should have understood the basic methods of Non-Parametric Statistics and Categorical Data, knowing when to adopt and how to apply them for analyzing data. |
