Less parametric methods in statistics

Weldon, Kenneth Laurence (avtor)

Despite forty years of revolution in the tools available for statistical analysis, the current academic tradition in statistics is remarkably similar to the pre-computer tradition. This tradition is rooted in parametric modeling, estimation, and testing, and optimal procedures based on these models. The paper argues for a shift in emphasis away from parametric modelingand estimation to graphical summary, from omnibus optimal techniques to those that are more context-specific, and from goals of objectivity to goals of revelation. It is suggested that the emphasis in statistical education should be rebalanced to reflect certain modern computer-based techniques.
