Empirical likelihood methods have emerged as a robust, non‐parametric framework for statistical inference that skilfully bypasses the need for strong parametric assumptions. By constructing likelihood ...

Non-parametric statistical tests are commonly used in the behavioral sciences. Researchers need to be aware that non-parametric methods involving ranks can perform unreliably as a result of very small ...
