Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonparametric techniques do not assume a specific population distribution and are therefore more flexible and applicable in a wider range of situations. Parametric techniques, on the other hand, make assumptions about the population distribution, which may not always be realistic or accurate. "Free agent techniques" is not a commonly used term in statistics.
