MOOCs attract a large number of users with unknown diversity in terms of motivation, ability, and goals. To understand more about learners in a MOOC, the authors explored clusters of user clickstream patterns in a highly technical MOOC, Nanophotonic Modelling through the algorithm k-means++.  Five clusters of user behaviour emerged: Fully Engaged, Consistent Viewers, One-Week Engaged, Two-Week Engaged, and Sporadic users. Assessment behaviours and scores are then examined within each cluster, and found different between clusters. Nonparametric statistical test, Kruskal-Wallis yielded a significant difference between user behaviour in each cluster. To make accurate inferences about what occurs in a MOOC, a first step is to understand the patterns of user behaviour. The latent characteristics that contribute to user behaviour must be explored in future research. Keywords: MOOCs, Learning Analytics, Assessment

A nonparametric statistical test for the analysis of flow cytometry derived histograms is presented. The method involves smoothing and translocation of data, area normalization, channel by channel determination of the mean and S.D., and use of Bayes' theorem for unknown histogram classification. With this statistical method, different sets of histograms from numerous biological systems can be compared.

Abstract This pilot study was derived as a consequence of European Directives 496/90 and 493/91 in which a regulation on the labeling of canned fishing goods was established. The study was intended primarily to assess whether different Spanish canned fishing goods might be differentiated by their basic nutritional composition (i.e., ash, chlorine as NaCl, fat, humidity, total proteins, and dry residue) and, second, to study each particular type of good. Accordingly, a univariate nonparametric statistical test and 2 multivariate chemometric techniques (factor and cluster analyses) were used. The pilot study revealed that (1) the basic nutritional variables did not allow a clear distinction among canned goods when different commodities were considered, but they seemed useful for obtaining information for only one type of good; and (2) the variables that gave the most useful information to visualize the appearance of groups in the data sets were humidity, dry residue, fat, and proteins, although their particular usefulness was found to be different when different species were considered.

This paper examines the effect of weather conditions on truck type distribution using combined nonparametric chi-squared and binomial probability statistical tests. Influence of the winter conditions on truck type distribution is investigated in this paper by classifying trucks into single-unit trucks, single-trailer, and multi-trailer units. The investigation is based on 5 years Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) traffic data collected from Alberta provincial highway network in Canada. The WIM data is collected from six WIM sites located on Highway 2, Highway 2A, Highway 3, Highway 16 and Highway 44. The objective of this study is to investigate the association of three truck type distribution with month and season depending on weather conditions by means of nonparametric statistical test. The statistical results indicate that the variation of truck type distribution is influenced by type of highway facility, such as regional commuter roads and rural long distance highways. The season of the year (winter and non-winter) may also affect the truck type distribution on some types of roads. Findings of this study can benefit highway agencies in developing programs and policies related to efficient monitoring of truck traffic and maintaining highway network throughout the year.

This research aims to determine poverty level, and factor related to the poverty level in Jati Mulyo Village, Jati Agung District, South Lampung Regency. This research was conducted in March-April 2018. Respondents were 70 households of poor families. Data were collected with a survey method using quantitative descriptive analysis and nonparametric statistical test (rank Spearman correlation). Results of this research showed that annual expenditure per capita was equivalent to the value of 233 kilograms of rice or the households were included in very poor category. Factors that were significantly related to poverty level were level of education and main occupation, while the number of family members and the age of the head of the household were not significantly related to poverty level.Key words: household, poor, poverty level
