Foundations of Non-parametric Methods & Efficiency – Practice Quiz

Compare nonparametric and robust approaches according to their assumptions and scientific targets. Prerequisites: medians, sampling distributions, location tests and basic regression. Calculate MAD, trimmed means and Huber loss; interpret asymptotic relative efficiency under a specified location model. Cases distinguish distribution-free testing from resistance to contamination and examine leverage, ties and robust uncertainty.
