All these methods, parametric or non-parametric, require much closer collaboration between medical investigators and statisticians.

Also, due to the reliance on fewer assumptions, non-parametric methods are more robust.

Another justification for the use of non-parametric methods is simplicity.

Generally speaking parametric methods make more assumptions than non-parametric methods.

Additionally time series analysis techniques may be divided into parametric and non-parametric methods.

The juice vitamin concentration data showed skewing and therefore analyses were performed using non-parametric methods.

Techniques for spectrum estimation can generally be divided into parametric and non-parametric methods.

It is a simple non-parametric statistical method based on ranks of fold changes.

One can compute prediction intervals without any assumptions on the population; formally, this is a non-parametric method.

SSA can be effectively used as a non-parametric method of time series monitoring and change detection.
