A PowerPoint®-based guide to assist in choosing the suitable statistical test.
NOTE: This presentation has the main purpose to assist researchers and students in choosing the appropriate statistical test for studies that examine one variable (Univariate). Some multivariates analyses are also included. Please proceed to the next page ... If you have any suggestion, criticism, please contact the author by

What do you want to do? For an answer, click on the button
I want to assess whether my data have a Normal distribution I want to compare groups (Looking for differences between samples) I want to make correlation or regression analysis between variables. I want to check the replicability of data (analysis of random and systematic error) I would choose the appropriate graph to my data.

You may choose the test according to sample size.
Tests for Data Analysis Distribution- Normality Normal distribution is requested when using continuos data and n<30 You may choose the test according to sample size. Use D’Agostino, if n≥10 Use D’Agostino-Pearson, if n≥20 Use Lilliefors or Shapiro-Wilk, for any n value Back to beginning
