In statistics, a ranklet is an orientation-selective non-parametric feature which is based on the computation of Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon (MWW) rank-sum test statistics. Ranklets achieve similar response to Haar wavelets as they share the same pattern of orientation-selectivity, multi-scale nature and a suitable notion of completeness. There were invented by in 2002. Rank-based (non-parametric) features have become popular in the field of image processing for their robustness in detecting outliers and invariance to monotonic transformations such as brightness, contrast changes and gamma correction. The MWW is a combination of Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Mann–Whitney U-test. It is a non-parametric alternative to the t-test used to test the hypothesis for the comparison of two independent distributions. It assesses whether two samples of observations, usually referred as Treatment T and Control C, come from the same distribution but do not have to be normally distributed. The Wilcoxon rank-sum statistics Ws is determined as: Subsequently, let MW be the Mann–Whitney statistics defined by: where m is the number of Treatment values. A ranklet R is defined as the normalization of MW in the range [−1, +1]: where a positive value means that the Treatment region is brighter than the Control region, and a negative value otherwise.

Linear regression is used to compare sets or pairs of numerical data points. We use it to find a correlation between variables.

Data that are collected for statistical analysis can be classified according to their type. It is important to know what data type we are dealing with as this determines the type of statistical test to use.
