Permutation Methods: A Distance Function Approach

by Paul W. Mielke Jr.

Book Overview

Classical statistical analysis depends on many assumptions about the nature of data and the population from which the samples were drawn. Permutation tests depend only on the data gathered and, although computationally intensive, provide powerful alternatives to conventional analysis techniques.
