In this paper a short overview and a case study in a statistical comparison
of stochastic optimization algorithms are presented. The algorithms
are part of the Black-Box Optimization Benchmarking 2015 competition
that was held at the 5th GECCO Workshop for Real-Parameter
Optimization. The question about the difference between parametric
and non-parametric tests for single-problem analysis and for multipleproblem
analysis is addressed in this paper. The main contributions are
the disadvantages that can appear by using multiple-problem analysis,
in the case when the data of some algorithms includes outliers.
