Choosing the Statistical Test When the Input Variable is Categorical and the Output Variable is Quantitative
In statistical analysis, it's common to encounter scenarios where the input variable is categorical and the output variable is quantitative. To analyze such data, several parametric statistical tests are available that can help us understand the relationship between the two variables. In this blog post, we will discuss three such tests - ANOVA, t-Test, and Chi-Square test - and provide examples to demonstrate their usage. ANOVA Test t-Test Chi-Square Test Example Conclusion ANOVA Test: ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a statistical test used to compare the means of three or more groups. It's often used in research to determine if there are significant differences between multiple groups based on a categorical variable. In this scenario, the categorical variable defines the groups, while the quantitative variable is the variable of interest being compared across the groups. ANOVA test can be used to determine if the means are significantly different or not. t-Test: The t-test i...
