What is another word for nonparametric statistics?
Pronunciation: [nˌɒnpˌaɹəmˈɛtɹɪk stɐtˈɪstɪks] (IPA) 
Nonparametric statistics is a statistical method that does not rely on assumptions about the underlying probability distribution of the data. It is a useful tool for analyzing data where traditional parametric methods are not applicable. Some synonyms for nonparametric statistics include distribution-free statistics, free distribution statistics, and model-free statistics. These terms emphasize the idea that nonparametric statistics do not depend on specific mathematical models or probability distributions. Another synonym for nonparametric statistics is robust statistics, which highlights the method's ability to handle outliers and other non-standard data. These terms all convey the same concept of a flexible, data-driven approach to statistical analysis that can be used in a wide variety of settings.
