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.

An income strategy approach to the positive theory of accounting standard setting/choice

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide additional evidence on the positive theory of accounting policy choice by combining individual accounting principles into firm income strategies, using a probit analysis where the independent variables were size, management compensation, industry concentration ratio, systematic risk, capital intensity and the total debt to total asset ratio.

Non-parametric Statistical Methods

TL;DR: In order to lessen the dependence of statistical inference on that assumption statisticians developed methods based on rank tests whose sampling distribution, under the null hypothesis, do not depend on the form of the underlying density function.

Tropical drying trends in global warming models and observations

TL;DR: Observed rainfall trends in several data sets show a significant summer drying trend in a main region of intermodel agreement: the Caribbean/Central-American region, which indicates consistent predictions for particular regions.

EEG microstate sequences in healthy humans at rest reveal scale-free dynamics

TL;DR: Strong statistical evidence is found that microstate sequences are scale free over six dyadic scales covering the 256-ms to 16-s range, which indicates that temporal dynamics are their key characteristic and advance the understanding of temporal dynamics of brain-scale neuronal network models such as the global workspace model.
