Chapter 15 - Chapter Outcomes
After studying the material in this chapter, you
should be able to:
Recognize
when and how to use the runs test and
testing for randomness.
Know when and how to perform a Mann-Whitney
U test.
Recognize the situations for which the Wilcoxon
signed rank test applies and be able to use it in a
decision-making context.
Perform nonparametric analysis of variance using
the Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA.
Nonparametric Statistics
Nonparametric statistical procedures are
those statistical methods that do not
concern themselves with population
distributions and/or parameters.
The Runs Test
The runs test is a statistical procedure
used to determine whether the pattern of
occurrences of two types of observations
is determined by a random process.
The Runs Test
A run is a succession of occurrences of a
certain type preceded and followed by
occurrences of the alternate type or by no
occurrences at all.

The Runs Test
(Small Sample Example)
H0: Computer-generated numbers are random
between 0.0 and 1.0.
HA: Computer-generated numbers are not random .

There are r = 10 runs
From runs table (Appendix K) with n1 = 9
and n2 = 11, the critical value of r is 6

Do not reject H0
Reject H0
Decision:
Since r = 10, we do not reject the null hypothesis.

Mann-Whitney U Test
The Mann Whitney U test can be used to compare
two samples from two populations if the
following assumptions are satisfied:
• The two samples are independent and random.
• The value measured is a continuous variable.
• The measurement scale used is at least
ordinal.
• If they differ, the distributions of the two
populations will differ only with respect to
the central location.

Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Test
The Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test can be
used in those cases where the following
assumptions are satisfied:
• The differences are measured on a continuous
variable.
• The measurement scale used is at least
interval.
• The distribution of the population differences
is symmetric about their median.

Kruskal-Wallis One-Way
Analysis of Variance
Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance can be
used in one-way analysis of variance if the
variables satisfy the following:
• They have a continuous distribution.
• The data are at least ordinal.
• The samples are independent.
• The samples come from populations whose only
possible difference is that at least one may have
a different central location than the others.
