ANALYSIS OF CORONA PATIENTS USING UNCERTAINTY-BASED NON-PARAMETRIC MEDIAN TEST

Abstract

Duckworth’s test is a well-known non-parametric statistical test  used for comparing the medians of two populations. However, the conventional Duckworth’s test, based on classical statistics, is inadequate when dealing with data originating from neutrosophic populations. This paper presents a modified version of Duckworth’s test, specifically designed for neutrosophic statistics. This novel approach enables the application of Duckworth’s test to imprecise, uncertain, or data recorded in indeterminate intervals. The proposed test statistic under neutrosophic statistics is introduced and applied to real-world Covid-19 data. Through comprehensive analysis and simulation studies, the efficacy of the proposed Duckworth’s test under neutrosophic statistics is demonstrated to surpass that of the existing Duckworth’s test under classical statistics.
