Abstract:
Resampling permutation procedures provide good approximations to exact permutation procedures and are therefore the preferred alternative when large samples render exact tests intractable. Resampling permutation procedures are described for three measures of variation and the three corresponding measures of consensus among ordered categories.

Ordinal Level of Measurement
Data measured using an ordinal scale are similar to nominal scale data, but there is one major difference. The ordinal scale data can be ordered. An example of ordinal scale data is a list of the top five national parks in the...

Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.
Maximum unusual value = μ + 2σ
