This short course will provide an overview of non-parametric statistical techniques. The course will first describe what non-parametric statistics are, when they should be used, and their advantages ...

Asymptotic lower bounds for estimation of the parameters of models with both parametric and nonparametric components are given in the form of representation theorems (for regular estimates) and ...

An introduction to analysing quantitative data including topics such as, understanding the distribution of data variables, and parametric and non-parametric statistical tests. Data refers to numbers, ...

Nonparametric estimation and U-statistics have emerged as vital tools in modern statistical analysis, offering robust alternatives to traditional parametric methods. Nonparametric techniques bypass ...

We provide novel, high-order accurate methods for non-parametric inference on quantile differences between two populations in both unconditional and conditional settings. These quantile differences ...
