Abstract
Permutation Analysis
Random permutation tests involve obtaining probabilities associated with sample statistics by permuting rows or columns of the data matrix and recalculating the sample statistics a sufficient number of times. These tests have been suggested as an alternative to parametric tests with small samples, in situations where the shape of the sampling distribution is unknown, and when dependencies in the data are not easily modeled. Such situations are frequent in social setting research, such as modeling the effects of friendship network density or homophily on behavior, or analyzing small cross-nested samples.
