Rank-based and resampling techniques are heavily represented, but robust techniques are considered as well. These techniques include one-sample testing and estimation, multi-sample testing and estimation, and regression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAttention is paid to the intellectual development of the field, with a thorough review of bibliographical references. Computational tools, in R and SAS, are developed and illustrated via examples. Exercises designed to reinforce examples are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eRank-based techniques including sign, Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests are presented\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eTests are inverted to produce estimates and confidence intervals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eMultivariate tests are explored\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eTechniques reflecting the dependence of a response variable on explanatory variables are presented\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDensity estimation is explored\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe bootstrap and jackknife are discussed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text is intended for a graduate student in applied statistics.
