    This is a list of statistical procedures which can be used for the analysis of categorical data, also known as data on the nominal scale and as categorical variables. General tests [ edit ]

  3. List of statistical tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_statistical_tests

    Some tests perform univariate analysis on a single sample with a single variable. Others compare two or more paired or unpaired samples. Unpaired samples are also called independent samples. Paired samples are also called dependent. Finally, there are some statistical tests that perform analysis of relationship between multiple variables like ...

  4. Chi-squared test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi-squared_test

    A chi-squared test (also chi-square or χ 2 test) is a statistical hypothesis test used in the analysis of contingency tables when the sample sizes are large. In simpler terms, this test is primarily used to examine whether two categorical variables ( two dimensions of the contingency table ) are independent in influencing the test statistic ...

  5. Categorical variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_variable

    A categorical variable that can take on exactly two values is termed a binary variable or a dichotomous variable; an important special case is the Bernoulli variable. Categorical variables with more than two possible values are called polytomous variables; categorical variables are often assumed to be polytomous unless otherwise specified.

  6. Pearson's chi-squared test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson's_chi-squared_test

    Pearson's chi-squared test or Pearson's test is a statistical test applied to sets of categorical data to evaluate how likely it is that any observed difference between the sets arose by chance. It is the most widely used of many chi-squared tests (e.g., Yates , likelihood ratio , portmanteau test in time series , etc.) – statistical ...

  7. Test statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_statistic

    A test statistic shares some of the same qualities of a descriptive statistic, and many statistics can be used as both test statistics and descriptive statistics. However, a test statistic is specifically intended for use in statistical testing, whereas the main quality of a descriptive statistic is that it is easily interpretable. Some ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochran–Armitage_test_for...

    The Cochran–Armitage test for trend, [1] [2] named for William Cochran and Peter Armitage, is used in categorical data analysis when the aim is to assess for the presence of an association between a variable with two categories and an ordinal variable with k categories.

  9. Statistical classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_classification

    When classification is performed by a computer, statistical methods are normally used to develop the algorithm. Often, the individual observations are analyzed into a set of quantifiable properties, known variously as explanatory variables or features. These properties may variously be categorical (e.g.
