Decision-Based Learning - What is a nonparametric method?

1. What are nonparametric methods?

2. Non-Parametric methods are used when we
examine sample statistics

3. Non-Parametric methods are used when we
examine sample statistics as a representation of
population parameters

4. Parametric methods are used when we examine
sample statistics as a representation of
population parameters when the distribution is
skewed or the data is ordinal / nominal.
