This research monograph provides a synthesis of a number of statistical tests and measures, which, at first consideration, appear disjoint and unrelated. Numerous comparisons of permutation and classical statistical methods are presented, and the two methods are compared via probability values and, where appropriate, measures of effect size.

Permutation statistical methods, compared to classical statistical methods, do not rely on theoretical distributions, avoid the usual assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance, and depend only on the data at hand. This text takes a...

This book covers the birth and historical development of permutation statistical methods from the early 1920s to the present day. Using an accessible, non-mathematical approach, the book presents permutation analogs of many well-known statistical tests.
