What is analysis Explaining the one with the other Association Relationship: Linear vs Non linear Comparison: Two or More Groups Hypothesis Testing
Parametric vs Non Parametric Tests◦ Parameter – Population measure
Mean, Standard Deviation, Proportion◦ Statistic – Sample measure
Mean, Standard Deviation, Proportion
◦ Nominal or Classificatory Scale Gender, Locality, Religion, District, Block, State Frequency, Mode,
◦ Ordinal or Ranking Scale Beauty, Military Ranks, Product Preference Median,
◦ Interval Scale Celsius or Fahrenheit, Likert Scale, Rating Scale Arithmetic Mean
◦ Ratio Scale Kelvin temperature, Speed, Height, Mass or
Weight, Income, Expenditure, Age Geometric Mean, Arithmetic Mean
Observations must be independent Measurement at Interval or Ratio level Observations drawn from Normally
distributed populations Populations must have the same variances Sampling: Random or Representative
Distribution Free tests◦ No assumption of normality or homogeneity
No requirement of strong measurement◦ nominal or ordinal level
Less powerful than parametric tests Every parametric test has non-parametric
counter part Parametric tests preferable when
assumptions are satisfied
Parametric Non-parametricAssumed distribution Normal AnyAssumed variance Homogeneous AnyTypical data Ratio or Interval Ordinal or NominalData set relationships Independent Any
Usual central measure Mean Median
