Basic Statistical Test Flow Chart Geo 441: Quantitative Methods Group Comparison and Association

This flow chart summarizes common statistical tests used for group comparison and association based on the type of data (interval/ratio, ordinal/nominal), number of groups being compared, and whether the data is paired or independent. It outlines tests for one sample, two samples, and more than two samples, including z-tests, t-tests, ANOVA, non-parametric equivalents, and tests for association such as correlation. The appropriate test is selected by considering the data type, number of groups, whether the data is paired or independent, and whether variances are equal or hierarchical structure exists.
