The term "non-parametric" in statistics refers to a type of statistical test or analysis that does not require any assumptions about the distribution of the data, unlike parametric tests. Non-parametric tests are often used when the assumption of normality of the data cannot be met or when there is limited prior knowledge about the distribution of the data.<br><br>In essence, non-parametric tests are "distribution-free" and do not rely on a specific statistical distribution (such as the normal distribution) to calculate the results. Instead, they use rankings, counts, or frequencies to draw conclusions about the data, making them more robust and flexible than parametric tests.<br><br>Some examples of non-parametric tests include the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, the Kruskal-Wallis H-test, and the sign test. Non-parametric tests are commonly used in fields such as medicine, social sciences, and psychology, where the distribution of the data may not be well-behaved or is unknown.
