First -- Choose the right test! [return to Table of Contents]

There are a bewildering number of statistical analyses out there, and choosing the right one for a particular set of data can be a daunting task. Here are some web pages that can help:

1. StatiBot -- This magnificent web site by Dominik Heeb is an integrated collection of statistical tests combined with an intelligent "expert" system that works with you to select and then perform the most appropriate analysis. StatiBot looks at the structure and content of your data, asks you various questions about it, checks to see if various assumptions (normality, etc.) are satisfied, performs the analysis, and presents the results in a detailed, understandable format, complete with graphics! So far, the following statistical tests have been fully implemented: Chi-square and Fisher exact test s, Binomial test, Polynomial test, paired and unpaired Student t,Welch, Wilcoxon, and Median tests, D'Agostini, Chi-square dispersion, and Symmetry tests, F test, U test, One-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests, Bartlett test, linear regression, and Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis.
2. "Selecting Statistics", by Bill Trochim (Cornell). This is an interactive set of web pages to help you select the right kind of analysis to perform on your data. It asks you a simple series of questions about your data (how many variables, etc.), then makes recommendations about the best test to perform.
3. Choosing a Statistical Test, Chapter 37 of Dr. Harvey Motulsky's book Intuitive Biotatistics.
4. The very extensive test-selection routine used in Dr. Robert Knodt's MODSTAT statistical package.
