• Student's t-test
  Student's t-test
  A t-test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows a Student's t distribution if the null hypothesis is supported. It is most commonly applied when the test statistic would follow a normal distribution if the value of a scaling term in the test statistic were known...
  
  
• analysis of variance
  Analysis of variance
  In statistics, analysis of variance is a collection of statistical models, and their associated procedures, in which the observed variance in a particular variable is partitioned into components attributable to different sources of variation...

  • ANCOVA
    ANCOVA
    In statistics, analysis of covariance is a general linear model with a continuous outcome variable and two or more predictor variables where at least one is continuous and at least one is categorical . ANCOVA is a merger of ANOVA and regression for continuous variables...

  • MANOVA
    MANOVA
    Multivariate analysis of variance is a generalized form of univariate analysis of variance . It is used when there are two or more dependent variables. It helps to answer : 1. do changes in the independent variable have significant effects on the dependent variables; 2. what are the interactions...
