parametrický t-test, neparametrický t-test

English translation: parametric t-test, non-parametric t-test

Czech term or phrase: parametrický t-test, neparametrický t-test
This appears in the key to a table (comparison of paired groups):

*parametrický t-test, **neparametrický t-test, ***chí-kvadrát test nezávislosti…

This may be a rather basic question, but is it possible to talk about a 'nonparametric t-test'? Or is a t-test by definition parametric?
(This also underlies the question I posted yesterday).

Both tests have to be almost interchangeable in certain situations. When speaking of both of them in a sentence or paragraph, you have to distinguish between them in an abbreviated form. And, IMO, that's all.

Thank you. My difficulty here was that I couldn't find any references in English to 'non-parametric t-tests'. But I suppose statisticians know what they're talking about!

Notes to answerer
Asker: In your link, I find "a non-parametric alternative to the t-test". Doesn't this imply that a t-test has to be parametric?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Sarka Lhotak: IMO, t-test has to be parametric. However, this is a problem of the author of the source, may be they used the "non-parametric alternative"?
