Non-parametric tests - Sign test, Wilcoxon signed rank, Mann-Whitney

[@riteshchaudhary7784]

You really covered 3 different self tudy topics from my syllabus in 30 minutes, without even rushing. Such a crystal clear explanation. THANKS A TON!!!!!!!!!!

[@MH1P]

Very confusing. Not sure where this graph comes from @9:12

[@swilson5320]

Don't know if you check these but you saved me so many things when I forgot statistical proceedures. You're a gifted teacher. Thanks so much! :)

[@jamesrobertson9149]

this is a very high quality presentation

[@Skulltroxx]

@Jaxson Jaylen shut up, bots

[@MissAna2409]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (you honestly saved me from having a slight panic attack), this video makes it much easier to understand. Like everybody else writes, you explain it in a very understandable and tangible way.

[@mycophil]

This is the greatest statistics video I have ever seen, and I've gone through a few at this point (exam in a few days lol). THANK YOU!

[@PunmasterSTP]

I didn't cover non-parametric tests nearly as much as the parametric ones, and coming back to this material it seems so foreign. I know I have to think about it a lot more and work through a few examples on my own before it starts to become second-nature. But this video was a wonderful (re)introduction, and thank you so much for sharing it!

[@codewithdev1375]

In wilcoxon signed rank test , if our calculated t value is less than critical value we should accept null hypothesis right ? Sir, can you explain this point why you rejected null hypothesis in this test above?

[@AboodV6]

You didn't mention the shape of the distribution for the Mann-Whitney test which is vital for the interpretation of the results.

[@yeimmygomez3832]

Thanks, Zstatistics. I must have watched this video 3 months ago when I was reading and interpreting these set of tests for an educational study and I did have a lot of struggle interpreting since I'm just an English teacher and I research mainly qualitatively. First time I use this research tests and methods and it'll be useful for my congress presentation in National ELT conference here in Bogota. Kind regards from Colombia.

[@nadiabennett8225]

Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation. I truly found it helpful. I wish all statistics was explained this way. God bless you!

[@osmanali5443]

Thanks for a great video! :) I am a bit confused regarding the part where you introduced the sign test. You mentioned that we use a binomial distribution in order to eventually accept or reject the hypotheses. In that case, 1) How is the test still non-parametric since we do use a distribution. 2) In the case of a binomial distribution we need the probability of success/failure in order to calculate our densities, what is the probability of success in this scenario?

[@saintbernoodle]

by definition of the median its a 50% chance you are smaller or larger than our hypothesized value. You don't assume anything about the distribution of the sample or population when you say there is a 50% chance an observation is larger than the median.

[@rachelcyr4306]

@10:00 I think you mean p 0.1172 as .172 is not listed anywhere for N=10 k=7, or even N=10 k=3

[@avishkaawasthi8111]

Great presentation... But I have a doubt , when we have to use sign test and when wilcoxon signed rank test ? How we can know that the given data is symmetric ?

[@stancommandeur1999]

Lovely how you introduce the dude at the beginning.

[@latenightrelaxing6679]

duc anh?

[@Premsainath]

Really good explanation.. Was looking for a nice easy intro to non-parametric methods and found your video super helpful.. Kudos!

[@andreahategan1061]

Thank you so much for all the videos you create and all the insigthul and intuitive explanations you have. If you have time, it would be great to include in the non-parametric tests the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to compare if two distributions are drawn from the same distributions or not.

[@Robert-z6f]

Always thanks for informative video. 17:14 You said "always compare the smaller of the two test statistics", but I think it depends on the alternative hypothesis. I think If alternative hypothesis is η>13, sum of signed rank of negative value should be compared to critical value. Am I wrong?

[@amandamoses379]

Hello! I'm curious about how to manage missing data in the Wilcoxon sign test. Please let me know if you have insight or literature to help manage those instances.

[@alanskp2109]

Concise and robust explanations. Great examples. Many thanks!

this was so helpful, im super behind wirh my uni work and this is helping me catch up! Thank you :)

[@TinyMaths]

This is really helping since, I had an assignment question that I couldn't understand for the life of me. And now, seeing your explanation of how the 'median' works, has really helped. Thank you!

Could you probably consider making a video on independence for categorical variables? 🙏🙏🙏

[@ernestmo3801]

Great video, but I can't help getting distracted by the fact that you sound like Hamish from Hamish and Andy

[@irfanium6922]

precise yet brilliantly explained. in arabic i would say explained with 'fasahat and blaghat"

[@kizitodavinci3152]

Thank you so much for this. Can you confirm that you have not made an error with the P-value of getting 7 above 13. Should it not be 0.1172 ?

[@tassoskat8623]

Great video! Is there something stopping us from using metrics other than median? For example could I use coefficient of variation (CV) to infer that there is a significant difference between 2 groups?

[@dc33333]

such a wonderful clear speaker

[@juliannajia6871]

Also May I ask what's the name of your podcast?

[@juliannajia6871]

Very nice video! May I ask how do you make your slides? They zoom in and zoom out and follow a neat logical flow !!

[@ИванЛыдкин]

Here is a quick question for the Mann-Whitney E(T1) formula. Shouldn't it include our T1 somewhere? Cuz there are the ns only. And the ns stand for the NUMBERS of elements in each set. It is just this example's coincidence that the VALUES and the NUMBERS of elements are close to each other.

[@saraphilip5885]

Hi, this is unrelated but how did you prepare the presentation? It's really good!:)

[@sesppsfd3815]

didn’t we have to deal with the tie rank also in calculating the variance in signed rank test?

[@reamabdulsalam524]

Hello thanks for this but in the sign test you didn’t tell us where did you get the p value from and if we do this in the exam how do we know when to reject or fail to reject ! I have seen few videos of the same problem they said if the sample size is less or equal to 25 you take the small signs you have got and get the critical value from the table at a given significant level and if the sample is more than 25 there is a formula we have to apply n(n+1)/4 ? Please do explain in more details I am in uni and struggling understand statistics because there is no clear and sufficient information in every video there is something missing !!!

[@sajidurrahmannafis8476]

this is the best video in this topic on youtube. god bless! a complex thing very very easily explained.

Is it possible to derive a PDF function for the signed ranks of individual observations ? since Z score and Z table are used in the signed rank test for calculating cummulative probability.

And several other places assume that everything is understood, which is not the case.

[@lunaalkabra1288]

but the hypothesis is U < 13 meaning the rejection region should be z

[@slhitmusic9192]

How to identify the test is one tail or two tail

[@eddyrealon1105]

How do you do regression using continuous data as dependent variable and nonparametric variables (i.e., ordinal data) as independent variables? For instance, I have maximum price buyers are willing to pay for a product as the dependent variable (Y) and the factors considered [ordinal data; ranked from very important (1) to not important (4)] as the independent variables (X1, X2, X3...). Wondering how I can do analyses on such data. Thank you in advance!

[@quentingallea166]

Those non parametric tests DO NOT compare the median. They compare if one distribution is shifted compared to the other. However, if there is shape is the same, this translate in a difference in medians. There is no reasons for assuming that they have they have the same shape. Check for examples: www.graphpad.com/guides/prism/7/statistics/how_the_mann-whitney_test_works.htm?toc=0&printWindow

[@adeshkantha7034]

I read that page and had a question: it says "The Mann-Whitney test compares the mean ranks -- it does not compare medians and does not compare distributions. More generally, the P value answers this question: What is the chance that a randomly selected value from the population with the larger mean rank is greater than a randomly selected value from the other population?" but above this it gives the following example "The graph shows each value obtained from control and treated subjects. The two-tail P value from the Mann-Whitney test is 0.0288, so you conclude that there is a statistically significant difference between the groups." Doesn't this mean that the probability of a randomly selected number from large mean rank group being greater than a randomly selected number from the other group is only 0.0288? Why is this statistically significant? shouldn't a higher p value mean its more significant

[@ananyasarkar2240]

hey, im a little confused shouldnt we accept the null hypothesis here because we usually reject the null hypothesis when calculated T> T stat and since 8

[@kalyaniseth8619]

Sir please share a video of other important non parametric test like wald wolfowitz run test , kolmogrov smirnov test .

[@tink417]

what happens in statistical software on a paired wilcoxon test, how/what is "h" set? Not sure I get where 13 was derived from.

[@arobasa]

Since the number of observations is 10, I thought k=n-1=9 when using the Table. Or doesn’t degrees of freedom applies in this type of test? Thanks!

[@reamabdulsalam524]

Hi in wilcoxon test when you sum the ranks you didn’t conclude what we should do next ? And what happen if we have both male and female are having same number of observations ? And you didn’t mentioned as well how to compare our results and do our conclusion please explain in deeper and don’t be very fast please give details

[@azizahmad2723]

Dear Sir, I am comparing two groups in terms of different research aspects using the Mann-Whitney test. But I want to add a categorical covariate (discipline) How do I take it into account with this test as a covariate? thank you

For the Wilcoxon signed ranked test, what if the difference is 0?

how did you find z>1.645 from 1.99?

[@munahussein1597]

I am sorry I get lost in one part can someone help me , why did he reject the null hypothesis in the Wilcoxon test? the T =8 and the critical value is 10, is not we reject the null when the ran test is higher than the critical value?

18:50 If this were to be a two tailed test, z value used would be 1.96 instead, right?

[@awinajoanitadsouza8576]

I am new to statistics.. I just wanted to know that why not two tailed were used?

[@mardzj]

@@awinajoanitadsouza8576 6:40 It's because we are interested only in the case that the median homoglobin level (η) is above 13 (>13) for our H1. If we were looking for changes in hemoglobin both above and below median it would be two tailed and our H1 would be η =/= 13.

[@fatimaelmi1458]

Thanks a lot this really very beneficial.

[@peterkrammer8968]

In 6:50, author written " H0: mi = 13 H1: mi < 13 " But the Alternative hypotesis must be complement (negation) of null hypotesis.. .so I think that the correct version of alternate hypotesis must be H1: mi 13.

[@achintsingh4552]

Actually, if you see the question, it's written that "assess whether median is less than 13g/dl". So it states the alternative hypothesis. Therefore H1: mi < 13. Now, null hypothesis should be mi >= 13, but the author took H0 as mi = 13, which he said that doens't matter in these types of questions. ( 7:15 ).

[@arjuntemura8473]

Great explanation!

[@AR-vb4xy]

We use non-parametric test when we know that the data doesn't fall into a parameterized distribution. Than why do we use normal approximation in single sample sign test, single sample wilcoxon signed rank test, and wilcoxon rank sum test???? This doesn't make sense. We alrdy know we can use normal distribution cannot be used for these data but we still use it as approximation. Sir please make a detailed video on this because this STILL doesn't make sense!

[@DrPeterVenkmanStudio]

I think he uses a binomial distribution to calculate de probability values and not a z score to find it (sign test)

[@AR-vb4xy]

@@DrPeterVenkmanStudio He clearly mentions that we can use Normal distribution as an approximation in those non parametric distribution. Student T test is used when the sample size is small and Z score is used when sample size is large. But why are we using a parametric distribution (Normal Distribution) as an approximation for a non parametric distribution? Doesn't it make the use of non parametric distribution less significant?

[@Robert-z6f]

I think he just mentioned those approximations to show how it goes when n is large.(All the approximation was executed under the condition that "n is large") And ofcourse, we don't need those approximations. If n is large enough for assuming normal distribution, we can use z or t score.
