Question

Guys! I would like to ask something really stupid!

I am a pure math major and currently doing a project using Non-homogeneous Poisson Process.

And I am struggling with the definitions between Parametric and Non-parametric test towards Poisson Process.

Can anyone with stats background explain to me in what situation we do parametric(non-parametric) with Poisson Process?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Parametric test : This can be defined as the statistical test in which specific assumptions are made about the population parameter

Non Parametric test : This can be defined as the statistical test that can be used in case of non - metric independent variables

Measurement level of parametric test is " Interval or Ratio"

Measurement level of Non - Parametric test is " Nomial or Ordinal "

Here Correlation in parametric test is " Pearson "

Here Correlation in Non - Parametric test is " Spearmen"

Measure of central tendency of parametric test is " Mean "

Measure of central tendency of non - parametric test is " Median "
