Parametric and Nonparametric Data Identification It is not always easy deciding whether data should be treated as parametric or nonparametric. A parametric test is a test that requires a parametric assumption‚ such as normality. A nonparametric test does not rely on parametric assumptions like normality (Simon‚ 2005). Whichever test a researcher decides to use‚ one must have a basic understanding of both parametric and nonparametric data. Parametric data is data that can be measured. For example

Non-Parametric Tests In contrast to parametric tests‚ non-parametric tests do not require any assumptions about the parameters or about the nature of population. It is because of this that these methods are sometimes referred to as the distribution free methods. Most of these methods‚ however‚ are based upon the weaker assumptions that observations are independent and that the variable under study is continuous with approximately symmetrical distribution. In addition to this‚ these methods do not

PARAMETRIC DESIGN – A NEW PARADIGM IN ARCHITECTURE K. KAVI SUMI‚ email: kavisumi@rocketmail.com‚ kavisumi06@gmail.com ABSTRACT Contemporary avant-garde architecture is addressing the demand for an increased level of expressed complexity by means of retooling its method on the basis of parametric design. The ground of parametric design is the generation of geometry from the definition of a family of initial parameters and the design of formal relations they keep with each other. The benefit

2008 AACE INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS EST.03 An Introduction to Parametric Estimating Mr. Larry R. Dysert‚ CCC A ACE International describes cost estimating as the “predictive process used to quantify‚ cost‚ and price the resources required by the scope of an asset investment option‚ activity‚ or project [1].” The methods and techniques used to prepare a cost estimate will typically vary based on the level of project definition available at the time the estimate is prepared [2‚ 3]. Early in a project’s

Ordinal utility theory:- it argues that a consumer cannot measure satisfaction numerically or subjectively instead she can rank the different baskets or bundles so as to choose the best basket. and theories of utility Utility is usefulness‚ the ability of something to satisfy needs or wants.[1] Utility is an important concept in economics and game theory‚ because it represents satisfaction experienced by the consumer of a commodity or a "good". Not coincidently‚ a good is something that satisfies
