{"product_id":"a-monte-carlo-study-shing-huei-lee-9783639037081","title":"A Monte Carlo Study - Two Nonparametric Statistics with Comparisons of Type I Error Rates and Power","description":"The Mann-Whitney (MW) test and the Kolmogrov-Smirnov two sample test (KS-2) are nonparametric statistical tests used to detect whether there is a general difference between two samples when the two underlying population distributions are distribution-free. The focus of this study was to examine and compare Type I error rates and statistical power between the MW and the KS-2 tests when the two samples had different population variances or various degrees of kurtosis and skewness. This study also compared Type I error rates and power with applicable different sizes between two samples. SAS program was used for simulations. Findings and conclusions from the simulations for Type I error rates and statistical power between the MW and the KS-2 tests were discussed. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations of the study, are discussed, as well as re-commendations for future research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shing-Huei Lee,Janice Williams Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639037081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639037081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Shing-Huei Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486964494591,"sku":"9783639037081","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d33ce21-f3bb-487e-baee-bedf5fc684f1.jpg?v=1778057441","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-monte-carlo-study-shing-huei-lee-9783639037081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
