More DescriptionBalancing the "cookbook" approach of some texts with the mathematical approach of others, this book introduces and develops some of the commonly used techniques of nonparametric statistics that are particularly important in biostatistics and the social sciences. The presentation is organized in relation to one, two, and multi-sample problems and includes discussions on correlation and regression methods and clinical equivalence with binary data. To make the material more accessible and practical, the authors use SAS programs to illustrate the various methods included. Derivations and mathematical detail are relegated to appendices at the end of each chapter. To help with problem solving, SAS code is presented both within the book and on the Internet.
