What are the Advantages of Using Non-Parametric Tests?
Non-parametric tests offer several advantages in Nursing research:
Flexibility: They can handle a wide variety of data types, including ordinal and nominal data. Robustness: They are less affected by outliers and non-normal distributions. Simplicity: Often easier to understand and apply than their parametric counterparts. Applicability: Useful in exploratory research where data do not meet parametric assumptions.
