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.
Cochran's test is a non-parametric statistical test to verify whether k treatments have identical effects in the analysis of two-way randomized block designs where the response variable is binary. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is named after William Gemmell Cochran .
The wider applicability and increased robustness of non-parametric tests comes at a cost: in cases where a parametric test's assumptions are met, non-parametric tests have less statistical power. In other words, a larger sample size can be required to draw conclusions with the same degree of confidence.
Analysis of similarities (ANOSIM) is a non-parametric statistical test widely used in the field of ecology.The test was first suggested by K. R. Clarke [1] as an ANOVA-like test, where instead of operating on raw data, operates on a ranked dissimilarity matrix.
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is a nonparametric test of nonindependent data from only two groups. The Skillings–Mack test is a general Friedman-type statistic that can be used in almost any block design with an arbitrary missing-data structure. The Wittkowski test is a general Friedman-Type statistics similar to Skillings-Mack test. When the ...
In statistics, the Brunner Munzel test [1] [2] [3] (also called the generalized Wilcoxon test) is a nonparametric test of the null hypothesis that, for randomly selected values X and Y from two populations, the probability of X being greater than Y is equal to the probability of Y being greater than X.
Median test (also Mood’s median-test, Westenberg-Mood median test or Brown-Mood median test) is a special case of Pearson's chi-squared test. It is a nonparametric test that tests the null hypothesis that the medians of the populations from which two or more samples are drawn are identical. The data in each sample are assigned to two groups ...
Responses for a given group are independent and identically distributed normal random variables (not a simple random sample (SRS)). If data are ordinal, a non-parametric alternative to this test should be used such as Kruskal–Wallis one-way analysis of variance.
