Description

A common question in comparing two sets of measurements is whether to use a parametric testing procedure or a non-parametric procedure. The question is even more obvious in dealing with smaller samples. Here, using simulation, several parametric and non-parametric tests, such as, t-test. Normal test, Wilcoxon Rank Sum test, van-der Waerden Score test, and Exponential Score test are compared.
