What these numbers mean
  • Choose the test before inspecting its p-value.
  • A non-significant result does not prove that the effect is absent, especially in an underpowered study.

The selector covers common simple designs. Covariate models, nested data, survival analysis and paired binary outcomes require another method or statistical advice.

How to use this page
  1. Choose the goal and outcome type.
  2. Specify the group count, pairing and data shape.
  3. Read the explanation and open the recommended test calculator.

What this page does not do: The selector covers common simple designs. Covariate models, nested data, survival analysis and paired binary outcomes require another method or statistical advice.

Further reading

Test selection starts with the research question and the way observations were collected. Group count, pairing, measurement scale and distribution determine the relevant family of tests.

The result is a starting point. Before reporting, inspect the selected test's assumptions, data quality, effect size and confidence interval.

Frequently asked questions

What if I do not know the distribution?

Choose “unknown”. The tool recommends a conservative rank-based test, but with larger samples you should inspect residuals and the estimand.

Does the selector perform the test?

No. It selects a method and links to a calculator where you enter the data required by that test.
