parametric

I'm trying to analyze bank efficiencies and come across two of the most used method of efficiencies measurement. I've studied many published papers on SFA and find some simplicity of the data that have to be used to run the method on statistical software. I wonder if anyone could enlighten me on...

I researched for hours but cannot find the direction for the right statistical test to use. Here is the situation for Population A and B: When plotting this frequency distribution, it looks like this: My observations to this point: - Shape: Multi-modal - Data type: Discrete Additional...

Hello guys, i have this huge coursework which i have been working for a long time and the deadline is tomorrow, so far i have been able to answer everything but one question on which i would really appreciate the help. Basically one part of the coursework is to acquire historical data for a...

Hi, I am comparing four groups (measurements of bone thickness and other bone parameters). The distributions are normal (Kolmogorov–Smirnov test) and variances equal between groups (Levenes test). I have 7 samples in each group. As I see from the literature this would call for a parametric...

Greetings Is it possible to compare the p-values derived from non-parametric tests to parametric tests? For example, lets say dataset 1: Copper concentration in spoil is not normally distributed, so I have to use a non-parametric test on it and get a p-value. Dataset 2: copper concentration...

Do parametric tests make assumptions regarding linearity? Whether yes or no, how can I explain this? It seems to me as though regression analyses assume linearity, but I can't seem to figure out whether these can be parametric tests or not. Many thanks!

I think I am pretty clear on the differences between parametric and nonparametric tests and which is more appropriate to use given the data you have collected. My question is about non-probability sampling and the use of the aforementioned tests. To my knowledge, both parametric and...

down vote favorite I am comparing maths and chemistry scores of students in several schools. I am not comparing the schools with each other. I am just trying to say that students do better in maths than in chemistry in all of the schools studied. So I am comparing the maths and chemistry...

Hello! I ran an analysis of my data of research into a repeated measures design and found the difference of both conditions to be not normally distributed. When exlcuding data to make it normally distributed and thus use parametric tests, can we only exclude data that exceeds the limit of...

Hello all, I would like some feedback on the right approach of analysing data, comparing means of groups of data. Currently I work with the following 5 steps to analyse my data. Is this approach correct or how do you analyse your data if you do it differently? 1) I test for normality...

Hi there, I am collecting data from a population of about 150 or so, and also from a subpopulation within that of 10-15 which are receiving a specific treatment. I am aiming to compare their scores on the same measure, to see if this population receiving treatment is truly 'special' in some...

hello everyone, i need your help regarding these statistical tests since i'm not really big on stats. i want to know if there are any significant difference between the two groups in my study. i'm confused which statistical treatment i will be using. here's a little background on my study. i...

Hi there, thanks in advance for any help you can give. I need to perform a correlation test between a parametric data set and a non-parametric data set: should I use a parametric test (Pearson) or a non-parametric test (Spearman's rho)? I'll be performing the analysis on SPSS.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to produce an automated framework for choosing hypothesis tests and carrying them out. I really am new to statistics so sorry if I'm asking really obvious questions, but I've tried for so long to find an answer and aren't getting anywhere. This also isn't homework help...

I would like to know if you can recommend sites where journals, particularly statistical researches, can be viewed completely. Alternatively, can you suggest recommendations based on your previous studies/research that I can work on and explore for a Masters Thesis. Any parametric method...

Dear all, I hope you can help me with the following question My design was a 2 x 2 with a single item measuring responsibility on a 10 point scale as my dv. However, my data is not normally distributed, and a number of standard transformations did not seem to help out here. That's why I was...

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of completing my masters thesis, and while I did my share of psych stats in my undergrad it's been YEARS and I'm a lil rusty! Any advice or help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated, and you may even get a mention in my thesis acknowledgement...

Dear the members of group. I have 2 questions regarding my research which has 8 variables in which 6 of them are normally distributed and the rest are not normally distributed. 1. Do I need to use parametric test for those 6 variables and non parametric test for the rest of two variables to...

Hi, I've been searching around recently to check if I am able to use one way ANOVA (parametric tests) on percentage change data? The data is from doppler flow experiments. The group numbers are very similar. Please let me know if I am able to perform these analyses and if not what is the...

Dear Stats experts here... I have a question: I am counting cells in histology slides of certain timepoints after a treatment. day 0, day 1, day 5, day 10, day 20, day 30, day 60, day 90 for each time points I have 3 histology slides of three independent individuals. each...
