Non-Parametric Statistics

I’m trying to learn more about statistics. I came across a reference to non-parametric statistics in a paper I was reading. Here’s a general description of nonparametric statistics. I have also figured out that I am mostly interested in descriptive statistics, since what I usually want to do is take some data and create a model of the way that data is behaving, rather than use the data to test a particular hypothesis.
