Statistical When to use Type of Sample

tools Data SOP

Mann- The Mann-Whitney U test is typically Nominal
Whitney employed when the data is ordinal or Data
when the t-assumptions test's are broken.
Since group rank differences rather than
group mean differences are sometimes
used to illustrate the results, it might be
challenging to interpret the Mann-
Whitney U.
Wilcoxon The Wilcoxon signed rank test is Ordinal
recommended whenever your data are Data
made up of discrete scores. The sign test is
the suitable statistic when the data do not
have a clear score or if they are
observational, such as "more aggressive"
versus "less aggressive."
Unrelated The parametric statistical test of Interval
t-test difference known as the unrelated t-test Data
can be used by a researcher to determine
the importance of their findings. When
the data meets the requirements for a
parametric test, it is used in research with
independent groups designs. Data is taken
from a population with a normal
distribution, the level of measurement is
interval or better, and there is no
statistically significant difference between
the variances of the two samples.
Chi-squared You can use the chi-square formula to Nominal
conduct an independence test when you Data
have two category variables. It can be
used to determine whether there is a
connection between the two variables.
When two factors are unrelated to one
another, they have no impact on one
another's likelihood of falling into a given
group.
Ralated t- A parametric statistical test of difference, Interval
test the related t-test enables psychologists to Data
evaluate significance. When the data is
suitable for a parametric test and the
study has a repeated measures or
matched pairs design, it is employed the
variances of the two samples are not
statistically different from one another,
the measurement level is interval or
 better, and the data is taken from a
population with a normal distribution.
Spearman’s When two ranked variables are present, Ordinak
Rank use Spearman rank correlation to Data
determine whether they are correlated—
that is, whether one variable tends to rise
or fall as the other increases—and
whether there are two ranked variables. If
you have a measurement variable and a
ranked variable, Spearman rank
correlation can also be used. In this
situation, the measurement variable is
converted to ranks, and the correlation is
performed on the two sets of rankings.
Sign test The sign test is employed when Nominal
dependent samples are paired and the Data
bivariate random variables are
independent of one another. It is based on
the direction of the plus and minus signs
of the observation rather than their
numerical magnitude. The binominal sign
test is another name for it.
Pearson’s r When the link is linear, both variables are Interval
quantitative, both variables are regularly Data
distributed, and there are no outliers, you
should utilize the Pearson correlation
coefficient. When attempting to assess a
connection, you have a variety of
correlation coefficients to pick from,
including the Pearson correlation
coefficient (r).
