A Comprehensive Guide for Selecting Appropriate Statistical Tests: Understanding When to Use Parametric and Nonparametric Tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Choosing appropriate statistical tests is crucial but deciding which to use can be challenging. Different suit different types of data and research questions, so it important choose the right one. Knowing how select an test lead more accurate results. Invalid results misleading conclusions may drawn from a study if incorrect used. Therefore, avoid these essential understand nature data, question, assumptions before selecting This because there are wide variety available. paper provides step-by-step approach for any study, with explanation when relevant examples each test. Furthermore, this guide comprehensive overview what do violated.

Validation of drop plate technique for bacterial enumeration by parametric and nonparametric tests
Drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. The objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. For bacterial enumeration...
متن کاملnormality tests for statistical analysis: a guide for non-statisticians
statistical errors are common in scientific literature and about 50% of the published articles have at least one error. the assumption of normality needs to be checked for many statistical procedures, namely parametric tests, because their validity depends on it. the aim of this commentary is to overview checking for normality in statistical analysis using spss.
متن کاملNonparametric symmetry tests for statistical functionals
Dedicated to the 70th birthday of Johann Pfanzagl Summary. Along the lines of Pfanzagl's work the testing theory for the non-parametric null hypothesis of symmetry (including matched pairs) is developed. The testing problem is typically given by a skew symmetric statistical functional which seems to be adequate for the nonparametric world. Under mild regularity assumptions asymptotically maximi...
متن کاملBenchmarking Non-Parametric Statistical Tests
Although non-parametric tests have already been proposed for that purpose, statistical significance tests for non-standard measures (different from the classification error) are less often used in the literature. This paper is an attempt at empirically verifying how these tests compare with more classical tests, on various conditions. More precisely, using a very large dataset to estimate the w...
متن کاملParametric and nonparametric tests for genetic association studies
Correlation among multiple complex traits has been believed to have a significant impact on genetic association testing. However, such correlation is difficult to account for in both genetic association studies and statistical methodologies. For complex diseases, especially mental illnesses and behavioral disorders, the traits are often measured on an ordinal scale. Although proportional odds l...
