While many degree programs require a course in parametric statistics, these methods are often inadequate for real-world decision making in business environments. Much of the data collected today by business executives (for example, customer satisfaction opinions) requires nonparametric statistics for valid analysis, and this book provides the reader with a set of tools that can be used to validly analyze all data, regardless of type. Through numerous examples and exercises, this book explains why nonparametric statistics will lead to better decisions and how they are used to reach a decision, with a wide array of business applications. Online resources include exercise data, spreadsheets, and solutions.SpringerBriefs in Statistics,2191-544XStatistics Operations researchDecision makingBusiness mathematicsBig dataStatistics for Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurancehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17010Statistical Theory and Methodshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S11001Operations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Business Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/523000Big Data/Analyticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/522070Statistics .Operations research.Decision making.Business mathematics.Big data.Statistics for Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance.Statistical Theory and Methods.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Business Mathematics.Big Data/Analytics.519.5Beatty Warrenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut768228MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300119503321Decision Support Using Nonparametric Statistics1564700UNINA
