    Talking to Dr. Sherwood

    Really useful instructions on how to do research.


    "Follow your passion and finish things. The important thing in research is that let your passion lead you and work hard. Talk to people so that you are aware of other people's work while publish your work so that others will know what your contribution is."

    "Do finish your work."

    Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test and Mann-Whitney Test

    Finally done the two tests...
     
    Both are non-parametric tests, the statistics of which are independent of the distribution from which the samples are obtained. M-W test are used to examine whether 2 samples, when obtained independently, came from the same distribution. K-S test does the same thing, but also examines, when one of the emperical cdf is substituted by a theoretical cdf, whether a sample came from a distribution that is identical to the hypothetical cdf used in calculating the test statistics.
