In this case, the non-parametric analysis will give more meaning to the analysis than the use of parametric analysis that is based on data that have linear properties and that require knowledge of the data material distribution.
We also performed a meta-analysis on the two CAN studies using a commonly used parametric approach that is based on t-statistic, and compared the result to that from our non-parametric meta-analysis approach.
This chapter presents a parametric analysis that is undertaken for a compound parabolic concentrator with a flat plate absorber.
The two-way fractional polynomial graph is a simple and yet powerful parametric model that is an intermediate between polynomials and nonlinear curves (Royston and Sauerbrei 2008).
The parametric study that is used, considers the value of the loads present in the Portuguese structural safety code (RSA 1983) applied in the structure.
The random set method introduced in [ 73] is a parametric test that is a generalization of Fisher's exact test in the sense that enrichment scores of gene sets are compared with randomly formed sets.
This methodology is based on macro-parametric methodology that is developed for exchanges of CAD data.
Then, a very classical frequency-domain design based on the non-parametric model (that is: on experimental data) and phase control is proposed.
We reconsider the motivation of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the non-parametric technique that is widely employed for analyzing productive efficiency in academia, the private sector and the public sector.
