Common Statistical Tests
Type of Test: Use:
Correlational These tests look for an association between variables
Pearson correlation Tests for the strength of the association between two continuous variables
Spearman correlation
Tests for the strength of the association between two ordinal variables (does not rely on the
assumption of normal distributed data)
Chi-square Tests for the strength of the association between two categorical variables
Comparison of Means: look for the difference between the means of variables
Paired T-test Tests for difference between two related variables
Independent T-test Tests for difference between two independent variables
ANOVA
Tests the difference between group means after any other variance in the outcome variable is
accounted for
Regression: assess if change in one variable predicts change in another variable
Simple regression Tests how change in the predictor variable predicts the level of change in the outcome variable
Multiple regression
Tests how change in the combination of two or more predictor variables predict the level of
change in the outcome variable
Non-parametric: are used when the data does not meet assumptions required for parametric tests
Wilcoxon rank-sum test
Tests for difference between two independent variables - takes into account magnitude and
direction of difference
Wilcoxon sign-rank test
Tests for difference between two related variables - takes into account magnitude and direction of
difference
Sign test
Tests if two related variables are different – ignores magnitude of change, only takes into account
direction
