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 

Multivariate statistics
