Nonparametric V 1

An alternative to the least squares approach, based on ranks of the data. This book discusses one and two sample location models, linear models (including multiple regression and designed experiments), and multivariate models. It develops rank test and estimates for all models, including bounded influence and high breakdown methods. It emphasizes efficiency and robustness and illustrates all methods on data sets.A complete development of statistical procedures based on ranks and signs for simple location through linear models.-- Covers application of methods as well as theoretical development.
