What are the typical assumptions of parametric tests?
• Random sampling from a defined population
• Characteristic is normally distributed in the population
• Population variances are equal (if two or more groups/variables in the design)

Mathematical Transformations
Often the best choice! *Especially with small
sample sizes

The hypothesis statements function the same way as the two sample t-test – but
we are focused on the medians rather than on the means:

• The aim of a regression analysis is to produce a reasonable analysis to the unknown response function m,
• Unlike parametric approaches where the function m is fully described by a finite set of parameters, nonparametric modeling accommodates a flexible form of the regression curve

• There are a number of approaches for the formulation and estimation of additive models.
The back-fitting algorithm is a general algorithm that can fit an additive model using any regression-type fitting mechanism.

Many statistical programs, such as R and SAS, offer packages that perform analyses of multiple types of additive models!!
P-values and slopes/relationships are calculated for you with programs! To better understand how these are calculated and they
types of additive models that are available look at the references that have been used at the bottom of the screens!
