This book discusses important applications of the Behrens-Fisher statistic and the False Discovery Rate (FDR). Covered applications include ANOVA and MANOVA under potentially non-normal errors and heteroscedasticity; and an intuitive method of analyzing s x r contingency tables when the column variable is ordinal. This book also explores the novel possibility that these applications may be deemed nonparametric.
