Non-parametric statistical techniques (i.e. those that make minimal assumptions about the error distribution) can be used to handle the raw data. Such methods are generally resistant towards the effects of extreme values, often because they use the median (see Section 6.2) as a measure of central tendency or measure of location. Such methods have the further advantage of extreme simplicity of calculation in many cases, but while popular in the behavioural sciences they are less frequently used in the analytical sciences.
