Permutation Methods: A Distance Function Approach

Paul W. Mielke, Kenneth J. Berry0387698116, 978-0-387-69811-3

The book will provide a comprehensive treatment of statistical inference using permutation techniques. Its purpose is to make available to practitioners a variety of useful and powerful data analytic tools that rely on very few distributional assumptions. Although many of these procedures have appeared in journal articles, they are not readily available to practitioners.
