Nonparametric Tests Done in Excel

Nonparametric tests are incredibly useful statistical procedures, and yet not many marketers use them. I like them because they are easy shortcuts for widely-used statistical tests such as the t-test and ANOVA and they remove any worries about requirements of normal distribution of underlying variables.

Maybe the reason that nonparametric tests are not as popular as they should be is that not a whole lot of people know how to do them. They are rarely taught in statistics courses and it is commonly believed that you need high-level, expensive, complicated software such as SPSS to run these tests.

This article will show how easy it is to do the four most popular nonparametric tests in Excel. These tests are:

The Sign Test
The Mann-Whitney U Test
The Kruskal-Wallis H Test
The Spearman Correlation Coefficient Test

Household Income in the UK

Household Income
Top to bottom income ratio four-to-one

Original income and final income by income quintile group, 2009/10, UK

A video explaining this story is available on the ONS You Tube channel.

In 2009/10, original income, before taxes and benefits, of the top fifth of households in the UK was approximately 16 times greater than that for the bottom fifth (£77,900 per household per year compared with £4,800). After redistribution through taxes and benefits, the ratio between the top and bottom fifths was reduced to four-to-one (average final income of £58,100 compared to £15,100).

Some types of households gain more than others from this redistribution. Retired households pay less in tax than they receive in benefits and so gain overall. Among non-retired households, single adult households with children also gain. Most other non-retired households pay more in tax than they receive in benefits. However, households with children do relatively better than households without children due to the cash benefits and benefits in kind (including health and education services) which are received by these households.

Cash benefits such as Pension Credit, Income Support, Incapacity Benefit, and the State Retirement Pension play the largest part in reducing income inequality. The majority of these go to households in the lower part of the income distribution. Cash benefits make up 59 per cent of gross income for the poorest fifth of households, 43 per cent for the second quintile, falling to 2 per cent for the top fifth of all households.

Direct taxes are progressive when taken as a whole although council tax and Northern Ireland rates are regressive. National Insurance contributions, as a percentage of gross income rose in the bottom four quintiles in 2009/10, from 1.4 per cent in the bottom quintile to 5.4 per cent in the fourth, but fell to 5.2 per cent in the top quintile. Overall in 2009/10, the bottom fifth paid 10 per cent of their gross income in direct tax while the top fifth of households paid 24 per cent.

Indirect taxes are regressive, taking a higher proportion of income from households with smaller incomes. Since direct and indirect taxes have opposite effects on the level of inequality, the tax system as a whole has a negligible effect.

Final income includes an adjustment for the receipt of benefits in kind from the state, such as health and education services. Households with lower incomes tend to receive more benefits in kind from the state (£7,600 for the bottom fifth compared with £5,100 for the top fifth). Retired households are the biggest users of health services provided by the state, while households with children are the biggest users of education services. These two groups are more likely to be in the lower income groups.

Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Report, January–December 2010

Preliminary figures indicate that, as a whole, law enforcement agencies throughout the Nation reported a decrease of 5.5 percent in the number of violent crimes brought to their attention in 2010 when compared to figures reported for 2009. The violent crime category includes murder, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. The number of property crimes in the United States from January to December of 2010 decreased 2.8 percent when compared to data from the same time period in 2009. Property crimes include burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. Arson is also a property crime, but data for arson are not included in property crime totals. Figures for 2010 indicated that arson decreased 8.3 percent when compared to 2009 figures.

The data presented in Tables 1 and 2 indicate the percent change in offenses known to law enforcement for 2009 and 2010 by population group and region, respectively. Table 3 reflects the percent change within the Nation for consecutive years (each year compared to the prior year). Table 4 presents a 2-year comparison of 2009 and 2010 offenses known to law enforcement for agencies having a resident population of 100,000 and over and providing 12 months of complete data. All data in this report are preliminary.

Please Note

Figures used in this Report were submitted voluntarily by law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Individuals using these tabulations are cautioned against drawing conclusions by making direct comparisons between cities. Comparisons lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents. Valid assessments are possible only with careful study and analysis of the range of unique conditions affecting each local law enforcement jurisdiction. It is important to remember that crime is a social problem and, therefore, a concern of the entire community. The efforts of law enforcement are limited to factors within its control. The data user is, therefore, cautioned against comparing statistical data of individual agencies. Further information on this topic can be obtained in the annual UCR report Crime in the United States, 2009.

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter offenses dropped 25.2 percent in the nation’s smallest cities (under 10,000 in population). However, in cities with populations of 250,000 to 499,999, murder and non-negligent manslaughter offenses increased 3.0 percent.
