The non-parametric method is a statistical method that does not require the data to be normally distributed.<\/p>\n<p>The high-low method is the simplest and most common method of determining cost behavior. It is based on the assumption that the variable cost per unit remains constant over the relevant range of activity, and that the fixed cost remains constant over the relevant range of activity. The high-low method is easy to understand and use, and it does not require any special statistical skills. However, the high-low method can be inaccurate if the data points are not evenly distributed, or if there are outliers in the data.<\/p>\n<p>The least squares regression method is a more sophisticated method of determining cost behavior.

It uses judgment to classify costs as variable or fixed. The accounting or analytical approach is based on the understanding of the nature of the costs and the way they are incurred.
