Parametric and Non-Parametric Tests for the Comparison of Two Samples Which Both Include Paired and Unpaired Observations
Ben Derrick, Paul A. White, Deirdre Toher
Abstract
Samples that include both independent and paired observations cause a dilemma for researchers that covers the full breadth of empirical research. Parametric approaches for the comparison of two samples using all available observations are considered, under normality and non-normality. These approaches are compared to naive and newly proposed non-parametric alternatives.
