I have an experiment in which we randomize primate subjects into high condition (n=9) and low condition (n=8) groups, and document each subject's behavioral response to 15 consecutive food exposure trials. Each subject's behavioral response during every trial is classified into one of four...

As the question indicates, I conducted a normality test on Minitab, and the p-value I received was 0.018, which is less than the significance level, therefore, it is not normally distributed. Therefore, I had to conduct a non-parametric Mann Whitney U test, and the p-value is 0.935, which...

Study design Suppose I want to compare algorithm runtime performance (measured in seconds) of different algorithms for the same problem type. There are several problem instances for this problem type on which the algorithms are tested and performance is measured. Possible tests As far as I...

Hello fellow statisticians, Problem definition: I need to test whether the difference between the "mean" utilization metrics of two machines is statistically significant. Given Data: Utilisation data is available for two machines for more than 100 days. Therefore, the mean, standard...

Hi, I'm really stuck with what test to use with my data. I have data on habitat use of 6 different habitat types across 2 locations and I'm unsure what test is most suitable. I thought initially mann whitney U but this doesn't seem to be working for me. I've attached the table below so you...

Hi, Need some advice, if I'm comparing species abundance in the same location across two different seasons is this paired or non-paired for Mann-Whitney-U? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone I was wondering if I had used the correct approach to analyse my data. I have four groups of people answering a survey and taking part in several tests. I am analyzing their test scores looking for differences between the groups. I have used the mann whitney test. Is this OK? Also...

Hi, for my study I have obtained the UK classification grades that are used at University. I've obtained data from two groups of students first generation and continuing generation. I want to see if there is a difference I'n grades between the groups. The problem I have is that I've obtained...

Hi guys! I am here for some help with my statistics. I am currently working on a small project involving the expression of surface markers on cells in donated blood from different individuals. Basically, for each individual, I will keep a part of the blood untreated and apply two different...
