Permutation tests and confidence sets¶
permute provides permutation tests and confidence sets for a variety of
nonparametric testing and estimation problems and for a variety of
randomization designs.
Benefits of Permutation Tests¶
Gives a test with correct type 1 error rate, without needing uncheckable assumptions
We can get confidence intervals for the p-value—this tells us how many iterations we need to achieve a certain precision
Choice of test statistic is flexible—choose one that makes sense for your data, gives high power
