Nonparametric statistics are typically used with data that is ordinal or nominal level. This is because nonparametric methods do not assume any particular distributional form for the data, unlike parametric methods which often assume the data follows a specific distribution such as normal distribution. In nonparametric methods, data is ranked or categorized, making it suitable for ordinal and nominal data.
