Enum: DistributionalAssumptionEnum

Whether an inference procedure assumes a parametric form for the underlying population distribution.

Note the deliberate type approximation: the values denote a property of a procedure, but the available ontology terms (NCIT:C53230, STATO:0000198) denote classes of test. Neither PATO nor OBI currently has a quality or characteristic term for "parametric", so the test classes are used as the closest available referent.
