It covers basic statistical concepts such as frequency distributions; graphs and curves; percentiles; measure of central tendency and variability; correlations; t tests; special applications of t tests for unequal, small, or correlated…

A Monte Carlo technique was used to investigate the small sample goodness of fit and statistical power of several nonparametric tests and their parametric analogues when applied to data which violate parametric assumptions. The motivation was to facilitate choice among three designs, simple random assignment with and without a concomitant variable…
