Abstract
Statistical inference procedures that require no distributional assumptions make up the area of nonparametric statistics. The permutation test is a common nonparametric test that can be used to compare measures of center for two data sets, but it is yet to be explored for three-dimensional rotation data. A permutation test for such data is developed and the statistical power of this test is considered under various scenarios. The test is then used in an application comparing movement around joints in the foot and ankle for humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.
