  2. Kolmogorov–Smirnov test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov–Smirnov_test

    Illustration of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov statistic. The red line is a model CDF, the blue line is an empirical CDF, and the black arrow is the KS statistic.. Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (K–S test or KS test) is a nonparametric test of the equality of continuous (or discontinuous, see Section 2.2), one-dimensional probability distributions that can be used to test whether a sample came from a ...

  3. List of statistical tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_statistical_tests

    Statistical tests are used to test the fit between a hypothesis and the data. [1] [2] Choosing the right statistical test is not a trivial task. [1] The choice of the test depends on many properties of the research question. The vast majority of studies can be addressed by 30 of the 100 or so statistical tests in use. [3] [4] [5]

  4. Anderson–Darling test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson–Darling_test

    The Anderson–Darling test is a statistical test of whether a given sample of data is drawn from a given probability distribution.In its basic form, the test assumes that there are no parameters to be estimated in the distribution being tested, in which case the test and its set of critical values is distribution-free.

  5. Welch's t-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welch's_t-test

    In statistics, Welch's t-test, or unequal variances t-test, is a two-sample location test which is used to test the (null) hypothesis that two populations have equal means. It is named for its creator, Bernard Lewis Welch , and is an adaptation of Student's t -test , [ 1 ] and is more reliable when the two samples have unequal variances and ...

  6. Wilcoxon signed-rank test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilcoxon_signed-rank_test

    The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is a non-parametric rank test for statistical hypothesis testing used either to test the location of a population based on a sample of data, or to compare the locations of two populations using two matched samples. [1] The one-sample version serves a purpose similar to that of the one-sample Student's t-test. [2]

  7. Randomness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness_test

    A randomness test (or test for randomness), in data evaluation, is a test used to analyze the distribution of a set of data to see whether it can be described as random (patternless). In stochastic modeling , as in some computer simulations , the hoped-for randomness of potential input data can be verified, by a formal test for randomness, to ...

  8. Likelihood-ratio test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood-ratio_test

    The likelihood-ratio test, also known as Wilks test, [2] is the oldest of the three classical approaches to hypothesis testing, together with the Lagrange multiplier test and the Wald test. [3] In fact, the latter two can be conceptualized as approximations to the likelihood-ratio test, and are asymptotically equivalent.

  9. Statistical hypothesis test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_hypothesis_test

    A statistical hypothesis test is a method of statistical inference used to decide whether the data sufficiently supports a particular hypothesis. A statistical hypothesis test typically involves a calculation of a test statistic. Then a decision is made, either by comparing the test statistic to a critical value or equivalently by evaluating a ...
