Statistica: which test to choose

A decision table of tests, when to reach for a non-parametric variant, and how to correctly read the p-value, ANOVA and regression.

What the guide covers

  • Decision table: which test to use by task type
  • Parametric tests and their non-parametric alternatives side by side
  • When to choose a non-parametric variant: normality, small sample, ordinal data
  • How to read the p-value correctly — and why it is not enough on its own
  • ANOVA: checking assumptions, the main table, post-hoc tests
  • Regression and correlation: R², B vs. Beta, checking residuals
