Prof. Dr. Selahattin KaçıranlarNonparametric statistical procedures employ as an alternative to theparametric statistical procedures when there is reason to believe one or more thanone assumptions have been violated.In this study, some nonparametric statistical procedures examined. For thispurpose in the first chapter, some informations and a brief history of nonparametricstatistical procedures are given and then the relations established between parametricand nonparametric statistics. In the second chapter, some nonparametric statisticalprocedures for the single sample and two independent samples are given. In the thirdchapter, nonparametric statistical tests for equal variability are examined.Key Words: Nonparametric statistics, The sign test, The Mann-Whitney Utest, The Siegel-Tukey test, The Moses test.II
