STATISTICAL POWER AND PROBABILITIES OF TYPE I ERROR IN TERMS OF SUITABLE NUMBER OF SIMULATIONS IN NONPARAMETRIC TESTS

Recently, simulation techniques have been widely used in social and medical sciences as well as natural and applied sciences. One of the most common fields of application of these simulation techniques is determination of statistical powers and probabilities of type I error of both parametric and no...
