Limitations of nonparametric methods converting ratio level data to ordinal ranked data entails a loss of information this reduces the sensitivity of the nonparametric test compared to the parametric alternative in most circumstances sensitivity is the power to reject the null hypothesis, given that it is false in the population. An advantage of a parametric test is that if the assumptions hold, the power, or the probability of rejecting h 0, when it is false, is higher than the power of a corresponding nonparametric test with equal sample sizes.
