Flow Charts for Statistical Techniques

This flow chart outlines appropriate statistical techniques for different types of hypothesis tests and analyses based on whether the data is numerical or categorical, and involves one group or multiple groups. For numerical data, techniques include t-tests, ANOVA, and nonparametric tests. For categorical data, techniques include z-tests, chi-squared tests, and McNemar's test. A second flow chart outlines regression methods, longitudinal studies, techniques for assessing evidence, and additional statistical topics.
