Top 9: Non-parametric analyses - much more than just the Wilcoxon test!
About this episode
This episode discusses the broader applications of non-parametric analyses beyond the Wilcoxon test.
Why this episode made our all-time Top 9: If you’ve ever thought “non-parametric = Wilcoxon/Mann-Whitney and that’s it,” this conversation will happily destroy that myth. Frank shows how rank-based methods unlock rigorous analyses for skewed data, outliers, ordinal endpoints, small samples, composites/estimands—and how to communicate effects without relying on means.
