Classical parametric statistic procedures are widely used in the research community. However, for classical tests to produce accurate results, the assumptions underlying them must be sufficiently satisfied. When the assumptions are not met, the results of the analysis may be due to the violation of the assumptions, instead of the true pattern of the data. The assumptions are rarely met when analyzing real data. The use of classic parametric methods with violated assumptions may lead to substantive errors in the interpretation of data. As an alternative to normal theory statistics, nonparametric statistical procedures do not make assumptions about the underlying …

Is the t test statistic for the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient robust to errors of the second kind? This investigation indirectly measured the effects of power through a type 2 error rate robustness study. The results were revealing.
