This is one of my favorite underappreciated statistics books of all time. Non-parametric statistics can be otherwise described as statistics without assumptions. The entire goal of this field of study is to prove X is greater than Y without making any assumptions about the underlying distributions of X or Y. The methods are different, and they require more data than other methods, but the learning journey is invaluable.
I personally believe that modern machine learning is simply the modeling section of the school of non-parametric statistics. Working through this book will give you a much deeper understanding of why…
