Okay, PG has an hypothesis test. There's a large literature for that, e.g., E. L. Lehmann, Testing Statistical Hypotheses. E. L. Lehmann, Nonparametrics: Statistical Methods Based on Ranks. Sidney Siegel, Nonparametric Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences. In this case, PG will be more interested in the non-parametric…

There is more in: E. L. Lehmann, 'Testing Statistical Hypotheses', John Wiley and Sons. E. L. Lehmann, 'Nonparametrics: Statistical Methods Based on Ranks', ISBN 0-8162-4994-6. Downey's book mentioned the chi-square distribution: The main point is that if X_1,…

For more, see, say some of the classics: E. L. Lehmann, Testing Statistical Hypotheses. E. L. Lehmann, Nonparametrics: Statistical Methods Based on Ranks. Sidney Siegel, Nonparametric Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences. Once I presented my work to Cisco. Their reaction was that…
on “Statistical Anomaly Detection” ↗…more in applied statistics. For much of engineering, e.g., quality control, the statistical hypothesis testing I outlined is common. There are now classic texts on hypothesis testing: E. L. Lehmann, Testing Statistical Hypotheses, John Wiley, New York, 1959. E. L. Lehmann, Nonparametrics: Statistical Methods Based on Ranks, ISBN 0-8162-4994-6, Holden-Day, San Francisco, 1975. Sidney Siegel, Nonparametric Statistics for the Behavioral…
