    Parametric and Nonparametric Test: By: Sai Prakash MBA Insurance Management Pondicherry University

    Parametric tests make assumptions about the population based on known parameters, while nonparametric tests make no assumptions about the population. Some examples of parametric tests are t-tests, F-tests, z-tests, and ANOVA, while examples of nonparametric tests are Mann-Whitney, rank sum tests, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The key differences are that parametric tests are more powerful but can only be applied when the population is known, while nonparametric tests do not rely on population information and can be used for nominal or ordinal scale data when no assumptions can be made.

    Parametric and

    Nonparametric Test

    Parametric Test

    ∗ If the information about the population is completely


    known by means of its parameters then statistical test is
    called parametric test

    ∗ Eg: t- test, f-test, z-test, ANOVA


    Nonparametric test

    ∗ If there is no knowledge about the population or


    paramters, but still it is required to test the hypothesis of
    the population. Then it is called non-parametric test

    ∗ Eg: mann-Whitney, rank sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test


    Classification Of hypothesis

    Parametric test Non Parametric test

    mann-Whitney, rank sum


    t- test, f-test, z-test, ANOVA
    test, Kruskal-Wallis test
    Difference between parametric and Non
    parametric
    Parametric Non Parametric

    Information about population is No information about the population is


    completely known available

    Specific assumptions are made regarding No assumptions are made regarding the
    the population population

    Null hypothesis is made on parameters of The null hypothesis is free from


    the population distribution parameters
    Difference between parametric and Non
    parametric
    Parametric Non Parametric

    Test statistic is based on the distribution Test statistic is arbritary

    Parametric tests are applicable only for It is applied both variable and artributes
    variable

    No parametric test excist for Norminal Non parametric test do exist for norminal
    scale data and ordinal scale data

    Parametric test is powerful, if it exist It is not so powerful like parametric test


    Advantages of non parametric test

    ∗ Non parametric test are simple and easy to understand


    ∗ It will not involve complecated sampling theory
    ∗ No assumption is made regarding the parent population
    ∗ This method is only available for norminal scale data
    ∗ This method are easy applicable for artribute dates.
    Disadvantages of non parametric test

    ∗ it can be applied only for norminal or ordinal scale


    ∗ For any problem, if any parametric test exist it is highly
    powerful.
    ∗ Nonparametric methods are not so efficient as of
    parametric test
    ∗ No nonparametric test available for testing the interaction
    in analysis of variance model.
