Choosing A Test

This document provides guidance on selecting appropriate statistical tests based on the type of data, measurement, and goal of analysis. It outlines tests for comparing one or more groups, quantifying associations between variables, and predicting values from other variables, including t-tests, ANOVA, regression, correlation, survival, and chi-square tests. Selection depends on whether data comes from Gaussian or non-Gaussian populations and involves measuring means, medians, proportions, ranks or survival times.
