The nonparametric statistical system is a package of computer programs for use with data that may not meet the assumptions of more traditional statistical tests. Thirty-four nonparametric tests are available in the system. Provisions for missing data, variable formats, and other options make the system potentially useful in research based on attitude questionnaires.
