Comparison Test

Parametric statistical procedures rely on assumptions about the shape of the distribution (i.e., assume a normal distribution) in the underlying population and about the form or parameters (i.e., means and standard deviations) of the assumed distribution.

Nonparametric statistical procedures rely on no or few assumptions about the shape or parameters of the population distribution from which the sample was drawn.

Analysis Type Paramatric Procedure Nonparametric Procedure Example Question
Compare 2 independant group Two-sample t-test / Independant t-tests Wilcoxon ranksum test Is the mean systolic blood pressure (at baseline) for patients assigned to placebo different from the mean for patients assigned to the treatment group?
Compare 2 quantitative measurement taken from same individual Paired t-test Wilcoxon signedrank test Was there a significant change in systolic blood pressure between baseline and the six-month followup measurement in the treatment group?
Compare 2 or more independant groups Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Kruskal-Wallis test Was there a significant difference in the systolic blood mean pressure between the 3 groups
Correlation between 2 quantitative variables Pearson coefficient of correlation Spearman’s rank correlation Is systolic blood pressure associated with the patient’s age?
