ABSTRACT

In this chapter we consider test methods for univariate case 1 data from normally distributed populations. Such data generally have a higher information value associated with them but the traditional hypothesis testing techniques (which include all the methods described in this chapter) are generally neither resistant nor robust. All the data analyzed by these methods are also, effectively, continuous - that is, at least for practical purposes, the data may be represented by any number and each such data number has a measurable relationship to other data numbers.
