Table 10. Results of nonparametric tests of similarity of sediment thickness medians, variances, and distribution shapes between two independent data sets interpreted from natural-gamma logs, Idaho National Laboratory, Idaho.
[Selected data from Anderson and Liszewski (1997) and data gathered in this study. Abbreviations: M-W, Mann-Whitney test of similarity of medians; L, Levene’s test of similarity of variances; K-S, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of similarity of distribution shape; p-value, probability value; vs., versus]
