This document provides an overview of parametric and non-parametric statistical tests. It explains that parametric tests make assumptions about the population distribution, comparing parameters like the mean and standard deviation, while non-parametric tests make no distributional assumptions and instead compare rankings or counts of observations. Specific tests discussed include the paired t-test, unpaired t-test, ANOVA, Wilcoxon matched pairs test, Mann-Whitney U test, median test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and McNemar's test. Examples are provided for each test.

2. Parametric &
Non-parametric
Parametric
Non-Parametric
? A parameter to compare
Mean, S.D.
?Normal Distribution & Homogeneity
? No parameter is compared
Significant numbers in a category plays the role
? No need of Normal Distribution & Homogeneity
? Used when parametric is not applicable.
3. Parametric &
Non-parametric
Parametric
Vs
Non-parametric
Which is good ?
If parametric is not applicable, then only we go for a non-parametric
Both are applicable, we prefer parametric. Why?
In parametric there is an estimation of values.
Null hypothesis is based on that estimation.
In non-parametric we are just testing a Null Hypothesis.
4. Normality ?
How do you check Normality ?
? The mean and median are approximately same.
? Construct a Histogram and trace a normal curve.
Example
? Level of Significance / p-value / Type I error / ¦Á
? Degree of Freedom
5. Types of variables
Independent variable
Dependent variable
Data representation
1. Continuous or Scale variable
2. Discrete variable
Nominal
Ordinal
(Categorical)
8. Paired t-test
Areas of application
>> When there is one group pre & post scores to compare.
>> In two group studies, if there is pre & post assessment, paired t is applied
to test whether there is significant change in individual group.
S = S.E. = t =
S.E.
Example
9. Unpaired/independent
t-test
Areas of application
>> When there is two group scores to compare.
(One time assessment of dependent variable).
>> In two group studies, if there is pre & post assessment, paired t is applied
to test whether there is significant change in individual group.
After this, the pre-post differences in the two groups are taken for testing.
Example
10. Areas of application
ANOVA
>> When there is more than two group scores to compare.
Group A x Group B x Group C
Post-HOC procedures after ANOVA
helps to compare the in-between groups
A x B , A x C , B x C
Similar to doing 3 unpaired t tests
Example
11. Wilcoxon Matched
Pairs
A Non-parametric procedure
>> This is the parallel test to the parametric paired t-test
? Before after differences are calculated with direction + ve or ¨Cve
? 0 differences neglected.
? Absolute differences are ranked from smallest to largest
? Identical marks are scored the average rank
? T is calculated from the sum of ranks associated with least frequent sign
? If all are in same direction T = 0
Example
12. Mann Whitney U
A Non-parametric procedure
>> This is the parallel test to the parametric unpaired t-test
? Data in both groups are combined and ranked
? Identical marks are scored the average rank
?Sum of ranks in separate groups are calculated
? Sum of ranks in either group can be considered for U.
? n1 is associated with ¡ÆR1i , n2 is associated with ¡ÆR2j
Example
13. Median Test
A Non-parametric procedure
Similar to the cases of Mann Whitney
>> This is the parallel test to the parametric unpaired t-test
? Data in both groups are combined and median is calculated
? Contingency table is prepared as follows
14. Kruskal Walis
A Non-parametric procedure
>> This is the parallel test to the parametric ANOVA
>> ANOVA was an extension of 2-group t-test
>> Kruskal Walis is an extension of Mann Whitney U
? Data in all groups are combined and ranked
? Identical marks are scored the average rank
?Sum of ranks in separate groups are calculated
Areas of application
>> Areas similar to ANOVA
>> Comparison of dependent variable between categories in a
demographic variable
Example
15. Mc Nemar¡¯s Test
Areas of application
>> Similar to the parametric paired t-test, but the dependent variable
is discrete, qualitative.
