A Web-Based Guide in Choosing the Appropriate Test Statistics for Univariate Models

Öz

Aim: The rate of statistical software use among researchers today is very high. In this study we aimed to develop a web-based decision tree at the least possible confusion level that can provide guidance in choosing the appropriate test statistics for researchers who want to perform the basic statistical analyses in univariate models on their own.

Materials and Methods: The decision tree developed as a guide in determining the appropriate test statistics in the statistical analysis of simple or multiple univariate models was created by using PHP and JavaScript languages. Technical information on the concepts and tests was provided in pop-ups for the guide user’s convenience.

Results: The questions posed within this decision tree that is quite easy to reach and use help reduce possible appropriate methods by fixing the research’s aim, design and data type and lower the researcher’s possibility to make mistakes due to lack of knowledge or misguidance. In addition, the information provided on the existence and nature of more advanced statistical methods emphasizes for the researcher the importance of consulting with an expert during the statistical analysis of a study’s results.

Discussion and Conclusion: Choosing the right test is crucial for the accuracy and reliability of findings to be obtained from a statistical analysis. What is essential is the ability to choose the right test for statistical analysis, not the ability to perform a statistical test or use statistical software. In addition to emphasizing the importance of consulting with an expert, a decision tree as developed in this study will contribute to lowering the possibility of making mistakes of researchers who want to perform statistical analyses on their own, at least while their choice of method.
