An initial path towards statistical analysis

Start here with your data

Univariate statistics

Does you data contain at least one categorical variable?
Yes, I have at least one categorical variable! (?)
No, I have only continuous variables! (?)

Multivariate statistics

Do you have several continuous variables without clear dependencies?

Categorical and continuous data

Does your data consist of categorical and continuous data? Does your data consist only of categorical data?

Does you categorical variable only contain two groups
Does you categorical variable contain more than two groups

More than 2 categorical variables

Analysis of Variance

Is your dependent variable normally distributed?
Is your dependent variable not normally distributed?

My data consists only of categorical variables

Is your dependent variable normally distributed?
Is your dependent variable not normally distributed?

t-test

My data consists only of categorical variables

Continuous variables

Non dependent relations? Correlations

Clear dependent relations Regression models
Dependent variable normally distributed
Linear Regression

Dependent variable not normally distributed

Generalised linear model

Dependent variable is count data

Dependent variable is 0/1 or proportions

Multivariate statistics
