Brief Course Description
1. Course Title:
Nonparametric statistics
2. Language of Instruction:
Vietnamese
3. Course Code:
NON608010
4. Credits:
2
5. Course Objectives:
This course equips learners with theoretical foundations and applied skills in nonparametric statistical methods for economic, social and business data analysis. Upon completion, students are expected to identify data situations where parametric assumptions are not appropriate, select suitable nonparametric procedures, conduct analyses using statistical software, interpret empirical results, and apply the methods to practical problems.
6. Brief Description of Course Content:
The Nonparametric Statistics course introduces statistical inference methods that rely minimally on distributional assumptions. Topics include foundations of nonparametric methods; tests for dichotomous data and contingency tables; one-sample and paired-sample procedures; two-sample procedures for location, dispersion and distributional differences; one-way and two-way layout problems; tests of independence and rank correlation; nonparametric regression and selected modern extensions such as smoothing, density estimation and censored data analysis. The course emphasizes method selection, data-based practice and interpretation of results in applied research contexts.
