Non-parametric estimates of overlap

Abstract:
Kernel densities provide accurate non-parametric estimates of the overlapping coefficient or the proportion of similar responses (PSR) in two populations. Non-parametric estimates avoid strong assumptions on the shape of the populations, such as normality or equal variance, and possess sampling variation approaching that of parametric estimates. We obtain accurate standard error estimates by bootstrap resampling. We illustrate the practical use of these methods in two examples and use simulations to explore the properties of the estimators under various sampling situations.

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance, comparing...
