How do you choose the correct statistical test?

Welcome to our website! My name is Eric Heidel, PhD, PStat, and I am a Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine (UTGSM) as well as an Accredited Professional Statistician. I have taught statistics to thousands of medical professionals over the past 15 years (see About page; opens in new window). I created this website to help researchers choose the correct statistical test to answer their research questions.

You will be prompted below to choose one of six potential statistical methods that could be used to answer your research question. After you select one of the six statistical methods and select options from the drop-down menus, you will click on a button to receive the correct statistical test to be performed for answering your research question. It should take you less than five minutes to complete the web form below. Thank you for using our website!
