Lecture 12: NonParametric ANOVA

We discussed the Kruskal Wallis non-parametric one-way ANOVA alternative, Mood's Median test alternative, and Welch's ANOVA using the following data:

Silver content of Byzantine coins from A Handbook of Small Data Sets by D.J. Hand, F. Daly, A.D. Lunn, K.J. McConway and E. Ostrowski, London: Chapman & Hall, 1994. Originally from: Hendy, M.F. and Charles, J.A. (1970) The production techniques, silver content and circulation history of the twelfth-century Byzantine Trachy. Archaeometry, 12, 13-21. I remembered the data set and found it discussed on the WEB here: http://renoir.vill.edu/~short/STATS/MA/materials/datasets.html

The silver content (% Ag) of a number of Byzantine coins discovered in Cyprus was determined. Nine of the coins came from the first coinage of the reign of King Manuel I, Comnenus (1143-1180); there were seven from the second coinage minted several years later and four from the third coinage (later still); another seven were from a fourth coinage. The question arose of whether there were significant differences in the silver content of coins minted early and late Manuel's reign.
