Hello future educators!

This subject Major 16 – Advance Statistics was developed to deepen the

concepts and techniques that are essential to data processing and
analysis. This is to expand your knowledge in making further conclusions
of your data in which inferential statistics was developed. More
statistical formula for nonparametric tests will be presented in this
module using Stepwise method to understand further the essence of
each formula.

Statistics is very significant in research. Conclusions will be drawn based

on the statistical analysis and the statistical tool that you will use. We
hope that you value the importance of this subject as you go through
this module for we are not only going to teach these formulas but also to
use these at some instances.

For quality education.

 INTRODUCTION TO NONPARAMETRIC STATISTICS

In this lesson, students should be able to:

a. discuss the basic principles of research and planning for research;
b. explain the various types of research designs;
c. explain the importance of using Nonparametric Statistics;
d. enumerate the uses of Nonparametric statistics;
e. identify the types of data and level of measurement for each variable;
and
f. illustrate the data and their level of measurement.

1. Introduction to Research
Research is defined as the scientific investigation of phenomena which
includes collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of facts that
links an individual’s speculation with reality. In other words, research is the
systematic study of trend or event which involves careful collection,
presentation, analysis and interpretation of quantitative data or facts that
relates man’s thinking with reality.
Here are some definitions of research:

 Research is basically used to help alleviate the well-being of

humanity. Best and Khan (1989) have their own definitions that
research is “systematic and objective analysis and recording of
controlled observations that may lead to the development of
generalizations, principles or theories resulting in the prediction and
possibly ultimate control of events”.
 Ardales (1993) forwarded an all-inclusive definition of research as
“research is systematic, objective and comprehensive investigation of
certain phenomenon, which involves accurate gathering, recording
and critical analyzing and interpreting of facts about the
phenomenon”.
 Research is a studious inquiry or examination especially a critical and
exhaustive investigation or experimentation having for its aim the
discovery of new facts and their correct interpretation, the revision of
accepted conclusions, theories or laws in the light of newly discovered
facts or the practical application of such conclusions, or laws (Leedy,
1988).
 Research is an inquiry for producing new knowledge (Worthen and
Sanders 1973). It is a systematic investigation or “disciplined inquiry”
(Cronbach and Suppes, 1969).

3|M a j o r 1 6 – A D V A N C E S T A T I S T I C S
 Research can be described as:

 Systematic. It follows steps or stages that begin with the identification

of the problem, relating of the problem with existing theories, collection
of data, analysis and interpretation of these data, drawing of
conclusions, and integration of these conclusions into the stream of
knowledge.
 Controlled. It is unlike solving ordinary problem solving which may be
done curiosity. Scientific research is so planned every step of the way
that fancy and guess work do not set in. The problem is defined
thoroughly, variables identified and selected, instruments carefully
selected or constructed, and conclusions drawn only from the data
yielded. Consequently, recommendations are based on the findings
and conclusions. Everything is so controlled that any observer of
the investigation will develop full confidence in the results.
 Empirical. As soon as the data have been collected, evidences are
now on hand to confirm or refute the hypothesis formulated at the start
of the investigation. These empirical data will form the bases for
conclusions.
 Critical investigation. After the researcher has completed the
research, the whole work is ready for critical analysis by a panel of
judges that passes judgment on the entire research.

There are three types of research. Namely:

1. Basic Research. This is called “fundamental research” or “pure

research”. It seeks to discover basic truths or principles. It is intended
to add to the body of scientific knowledge by exploring the unknown to
extend the boundaries of knowledge as well as to discover new facts,
and learn more accurately the characteristics of the known without
any particular thought as to immediate practical utility. In other words,
the result of basic research in theoretical knowledge have no
immediate usefulness or value to man.
Examples: Newton’s Law of Motion, Archimede’s Principle of
Buoyancy, Pyhtagorean Theorem
2. Applied Research. This type pf research involves seeking new
applications of scientific knowledge to the solution of the problem,
such as development of a new system or procedure, new device or
new method in order to solve the problem.
Example: Practicing social distancing in public places to reduce the
chance of catching communicable diseases.
4|M a j o r 1 6 – A D V A N C E S T A T I S T I C S
 3. Developmental Research. This is a decision-oriented research
involving the application of the steps of the scientific method in
response to an immediate need to improve existing practices. In other
words, if a researcher continues to find practical applications from
theoretical knowledge and use this existing knowledge to produce
useful products it is called developmental research, hence, Research
and Development (R and D) concept is applied.
Examples: Using biometric system is efficient rather than using DTR.
Using different media for teaching mathematics to make more
meaningful learning. Wearing facemasks and face shields are more
effective to mitigate the spread of communicable diseases such as
covid-19 virus.

Planning research always starts in identifying the problem you

wanted to find a solution. This is the very essence of conducting research.
You should also consider TERM (Time, Effort, Resources, Money) in
conducting research.

2. Overview and Uses of Nonparametric Statistics

Nonparametric statistics uses statistical tools or formula that does not

require normal distribution of the data. These formulas can be used only for
nominal and ordinal type of measurements.

We can say that the data is normally distributed if the value of

skewness is 0 and kurtosis is equal to 0.265. Meanwhile, nominal type of
data is expressed in categories such as male and female, Muslims and
Christians, rural or urban and many more. On the other hand, ordinal type of
data refers to the ranking of individuals or objects such as large or small

6|M a j o r 1 6 – A D V A N C E S T A T I S T I C S
objects or persons, harder or softer, responses such as Strong Agree,
Agree, No Opinion, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree.

3. Uses of Nonparametric Statistics

Statistics is commonly used in researches to test the hypotheses.

Every statistical tools are designed to specific problems to have an accurate
and precise decisions. However, there are researches wherein the
conditions are not stringent compared to some researches where parametric
tests are applied. Most of the researchers also uses smaller sample size in
nominal or ordinal type of data. That is why, nonparametric statistical tests
are presented.

4. Levels of Measurement and Types of Data Used in Nonparametric

Tests

According to Stevens, there are four types of scales that are used in
sciences. These are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.

Nominal scales are used as measures of identity. The data are

categorized or classified. For instance, black and white objects, Yes or No
answers, name of religions like Muslims and Christians, gender or sex
preferences, and many more.

Ordinal scale is used for ranking objects or individuals. Common

example is the responses of a research such as Strongly Agree, Agree, No
Opinion, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree.

Interval scales are number that reflect differences among items.

Examples are scores in a test, grades of students, IQ test, ages, blood
pressures, land level of temperatures. This type of scale has no absolute
zero value. For instance, having a zero result of your grade does not mean
that you learn nothing.

Ratio scale is the highest type of scale. The basic difference between
the interval and ratio scale is that ratio scale are the measures of length,
weight, loudness, width, and so on. Ratio scale have zero absolute value.
For instance, you have zero length of measurement, it means that there is
no distance.

THE USE OF STATISTICAL TESTS IN RESEARCH

In this lesson, students should be able to:

a. differentiate between Null and Alternative Hypotheses;
b. state the Null and Alternative hypotheses given a problem;
c. list down the different Nonparametric statistical test for testing the Null
hypothesis; and
d. compare and contrast the different Nonparametric statistical test.

9|M a j o r 1 6 – A D V A N C E S T A T I S T I C S
The Null and Alternative Hypothesis
Making hypotheses in research will be based on your objectives.
That is why, your objectives should be SMART (Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bounded). It is very important to have
SMART objectives to have accurate statements in your findings of your
study.
Hypotheses is described as educated guess. These are statements
assumed to be true. There are two types of hypothesis: null hypothesis
(Ho) is an statement that negates the concept of the original statement;
alternative hypothesis (Ha) is an statement that shows the positive
concept.

Examples:

According to Albert Einstein, “No amount of experimentation can ever

prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong”. This implies that
we test the hypothesis not prove it but to falsify. This is the very essence of
Null hypothesis and data analysis.

 Chi-square test of goodness-of-fit is a test of difference between the

observed frequencies and expected frequencies.

 Chi-square test of homogeneity is concerned with two or more samples,

with only one criterion variable. This test is used to determine if two or
more populations are homogenous. Its data distribution is similar with
respect to a particular criterion variable.
 Chi-square test of independence (One Sample, Two Criterion
Variables) is different from the test of homogeneity. The sample used in
this test consists of members randomly drawn from the same population.
This test is used to look into whether measures taken on two criterion
11 | M a j o r 1 6 – A D V A N C E S T A T I S T I C S
 variables are either independent or associated with one in a given
population using such variables as level of education and income,
performance in class and IQ etc. The calculation of this test is similar to the
test of goodness-of-fit and the test of homogeneity.

 Wilcoxon rank-sum test or Wilcoxon two-sample test is used to

compare if there is a significant difference between two independent
groups. This is the counterpart of the t-test under the parametric test.

 Krustall-Wallis test or Krustall-Wallis H-test is used to compare 3 or

more independent groups. This is an alternative for the F-test (ANOVA) in
parametric tests.

 Spearman rank order coefficient of correlation is denoted by rs. This

test of correlation does not require the stringent assumption of normality
like the Pearson Product Moment of Correlation which is denoted by small
r.

 Sign test for two independent samples (Median test Two-sample

Case) is also known as the median test, another test under nonparametric
statistics. It is used to compare the median of two independent samples.
The data is composed of two independent samples.

 Sign test for two correlated samples (Fisher sign test) is used to
compare two correlated samples and is applicable to data composed of N
paired observations. The difference between each pair of observations is
obtained. This test is based on the idea that half of the difference between
the paired observations will be positive and the other half will be negative.

 Sign test for K independent samples (Median test: Multi sample case)
is under the nonparametric tests. This is a straightforward extension of the
median test for two independent samples.

 MC Nemar’s test for correlated proportions is for the situations when

samples are matched, that is, they are not independent. This is the before
and after design which all are trying to test whether there is a significant
change between the before and after situations.

 Friedman Fr test for randomized block design is used to compare the

distributions of measurements for k treatments laid out in blocks using
randomized block design. The procedure for conducting the test is similar
to that used for Krustall-Wallis H-test. When either the number of k of
treatments or the number of b of blocks is larger than five, sampling
12 | M a j o r 1 6 – A D V A N C E S T A T I S T I C S
 distribution of Fr test can be approximated by a chi-square distribution with
(k-1) df.

 Kendalls’ coefficient of concordance W is used to find out if there is an

agreement or concordance among raters or judges of N objects or
individuals. The interpretation of W is high agreement when W=1, no
agreement when W=0.

The theory of Mendel regarding crossing of peas is in the ratio of

9:3:3:1, meaning 9 parts are smooth yellow, 3 parts smooth green, 3 parts
wrinkled yellow and 1 part wrinkled green. The researcher conducted an
experiment and the result was out of 560 peas, 310 were smooth yellow,
100 were wrinkled yellow, 110 were smooth green and 40 were wrinkled
green. Is there a significant difference between the observed and the
expected? Use chi-square test at 0.05 level of significance.

Solving by Stepwise Method:

I – Problem: Is there a significant difference between the observed (actual

experiment) and the expected (theory) frequencies?

II – Hypotheses:

Ho = There is no significant difference between the observed and the

expected frequencies.

Ha = There is a significant difference between the observed and

expected frequencies.

VI - Conclusion: Since the chi-square computed value of 1.269 is lesser
than the chi-square tabular value of 0.7815 at 0.05 level
of significance with 3 degrees of freedom, so the null
hypothesis is accepted. This means that there is no
significant difference between the observed and

16 | M a j o r 1 6 – A D V A N C E S T A T I S T I C S

To illustrate this, we can evaluate the attitude of a sample of Lakas

and Laban parties on the issue of peace and order in Mindanao. To carry out
such study, a separate random sample of members of each party is drawn
from the nationwide population of Lakas and Laban and each individual in
both samples responds to the scale. Scores are then classified into
“Favorable” or “Unfavorable” categories. The following frequencies are
obtained:

VI – Conclusion: Since the chi-square value of 4.604 is greater than the
chi-square tabular value of 3.481 at 0.05 level of
significance with 1 degree of freedom, the research
hypothesis is accepted. This means that there is a
significant difference between the attitudes of the two

V – Decision Rule: Select the smaller value from the two groups. If the U
computed value is lesser than or equal to the tabular
value, reject the null hypothesis.

VI – Conclusion: Since the computed value of the second group is 5 which

is lesser than the U tabular value of 17 at 0.05 level of
significance with 10 degrees of freedom from group 1 and
8 degrees of freedom from group 2, the null hypothesis is
rejected. It means that the serum is effective. It also
implies that patients treated with the new serum live
longer when compared to the patients who are not treated
with the new serum.

Solving using Stepwise Method:

I – Problem: Is there a significant difference in the performance of the two

groups?

II – Hypotheses:

Ho = There is no significant difference in the performance of

the two groups.

Ha = There is a significant difference in the performance of the

two groups.

III – Level of Significance

α = 0.05
df = (c – 1)(v – 1)

x 0.05 = 3.841 tabular value

IV – Statistics

Median test for two independent samples.

The median of the female and male observations is 16. Assigning a +
to values above the median and a – to values at or below it, we have the
following result.
Female - + + - - - + + + + + -
Male - + + - - - - - +

These data may be tabulated in the form of a 2x2 table as follows:

+ - Total
Female a 7 b 5 k 12
Male c 3 d 6 l 9
Total m 10 n 11 N 21

V – Decision Rule: If x 2 computed value is greater than x 2 tabular value,

reject the null hypothesis.

VI – Conclusion: Since the x 2 computed value of 1.288 is lesser than the x 2

tabular value of 3.841 at 0.05 level of significance with 1
degree of freedom, the null hypothesis of no significant
difference in the performance of the two groups is
accepted.
