An initial path towards statistical analysis

Start here with your data

Do you have several continuous variables without clear dependencies?
Yes-> Multivariate statistics
No-> Univariate statistics

Univariate statistics

At least one categorical independent variable

Categorical and continuous data

Analysis of Variance

  Dependent variable normally distributed

   More than 2 groups

    ===== Type II Anova =====

     Random factors

      ===== Linear mixed effect model =====
      
  Dependent variable not normally distributed
   
   ===== Type III Anova =====

    Dependent variable is count data

    Dependent variable is 0/1 or proportions

      Random factors

       ===== Generalized linear mixed effect models =====
   

Only categorical variables

===== Chi-Square test =====

Only continuous variables

Non dependent relations

===== Correlations =====

Clear dependent relations

Regression models

 Dependent variable normally distributed

 ===== Linear Regression =====

Dependent variable not normally distributed

===== GLM =====

Dependent variable is count data

 ===== Poisson GLM =====

 Dependent variable is 0/1 or proportions

 ===== Binomial GLM =====
