Welcome to the Nonparametric Statistics Section
American Statistical Association
The objective of this section is to provide a forum for the ASA
members with interests in flexible statistical methods that make only
minimal assumptions on the underlying population or modeling
structure. Focus areas include, but are not limited to, distribution
free, nonparametric and semiparametric methods, and methods for
high-dimensional and functional data. The section embraces the myriad
of methodologies, philosophies and applications that comprise
contemporary nonparametric statistics, seeks to promote research,
education and training in them and to build cooperative relationships
within and outside the ASA with those who have interest in
nonparametrics.
