nonparametric
Nonparametric statistics is the branch of statistics that is not based solely on parametrized families of probability distributions (common examples of parameters are the mean and variance). Nonparametric statistics is based on either being distribution-free or having a specified distribution but with the distribution's parameters unspecified. Nonparametric statistics includes both descriptive statistics and statistical inference. Nonparametric tests are often used when the assumptions of parametric tests are violated.

nonparametric
Nonparametric refers to a type of statistical methods that do not require the data to fit a specific distribution model or parameters. It is sometimes called distribution-free method. Instead of making assumptions about the shape or parameters of the population distribution from which the sample is drawn, nonparametric methods rely on minimal assumptions about the data. They are often used when the distribution of the data is unknown or not normally distributed.
