TLDR
An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Second Edition is also an invaluable source for professionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developments within this dynamic branch of modern statistics.Abstract:
This Second Edition of Myles Hollander and Douglas A. Wolfe's successful Nonparametric Statistical Methods meets the needs of a new generation of users, with completely up-to-date coverage of this important statistical area. Like its predecessor, the revised edition, along with its companion ftp site, aims to equip readers with the conceptual and technical skills necessary to select and apply the appropriate procedures for a given situation. An extensive array of examples drawn from actual experiments illustrates clearly how to use nonparametric approaches to handle one- or two-sample location and dispersion problems, dichotomous data, and one-way and two-way layout problems. An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Second Edition is also an invaluable source for professionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developments within this dynamic branch of modern statistics.read more

Features and performance of some outlier detection methods
TL;DR: A review of several statistical methods that are currently in use for outlier identification is presented, and their performances are compared theoretically for typical statistical distributions of experimental data, considering values derived from the distribution of extreme order statistics as reference terms as mentioned in this paper.

Efficacy of hyperimmune bovine colostrum for prophylaxis of cryptosporidiosis in neonatal calves.
TL;DR: Findings indicate that passive lacteal immunity conferred partial protection against cryptosporidiosis in neonatal calves, and whether such protection was provided by the immunoglobulins that were highly elevated in the colostrum and constituted a large part of the circulating antibody in the calves, is undetermined.

TL;DR: In patients with renal impairment (serum creatinine greater than 1.6 mg/dl at baseline), lisinopril was superior to captopril in improving exercise duration and improvement in functional capacity and quality of life, as assessed by the Yale Scale dyspnea/fatigue index, was significantly greater for the lisinobril group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dominance and anti-predator behaviour in blue tits (Parus caeruleus)
TL;DR: After a model sparrowhawk was flown over captive flocks of blue tits at a feeder, there was a significant negative correlation between sequence of return to the feeder and status within a linear dominance hierarchy, and birds increased the proportion of their time budgets devoted to scanning for predators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Joshua J. Millspaugh,Robert A. Gitzen,Brian J. Kernohan,Michael A. Larson,Christopher L. Clay +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the comparability of minimum convex polygon and fixed-kernel home-range overlap indices and Volume of Intersection (VI) scores using simulated data.
