Statistical analysis is the systematic process of selecting appropriate tests, verifying assumptions, quantifying effect magnitudes, and reporting results. This knowhow guides test selection, assumption diagnostics, and APA-style reporting for frequentist and Bayesian analyses in academic research.
| Aspect | Frequentist | Bayesian |
|---|---|---|
| Core output | p-value, confidence interval | Posterior distribution, credible interval |
| Interpretation | "How likely is this data if H0 is true?" | "How likely is H1 given the data?" |
| Null support | Cannot support H0 (only fail to reject) | Can quantify evidence for H0 via Bayes Factor |
| Prior info | Not used | Incorporated via prior distributions |
| Sample size | Requires adequate power | Works with any sample size |
| Best for | Standard analyses, large samples | Small samples, prior info, complex models |
A statistically significant result (p < .05) may be trivially small in practice. Always report:
| Test | Effect Size | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| t-test | Cohen's d | 0.20 | 0.50 | 0.80 |
| t-test (small n) | Hedges' g | 0.20 | 0.50 | 0.80 |
| ANOVA | eta-squared partial | 0.01 | 0.06 | 0.14 |
| ANOVA | omega-squared | 0.01 | 0.06 | 0.14 |
| Correlation | r | 0.10 | 0.30 | 0.50 |
| Regression | R-squared | 0.02 | 0.13 | 0.26 |
| Regression | f-squared | 0.02 | 0.15 | 0.35 |
| Chi-square | Cramer's V | 0.07 | 0.21 | 0.35 |
| Chi-square 2x2 | phi coefficient | 0.10 | 0.30 | 0.50 |
Cohen's benchmarks are guidelines, not rigid thresholds -- domain context always matters.
Most parametric tests require:
When assumptions are violated:
T-test assumptions: (1) Check normality per group with Shapiro-Wilk + Q-Q plots. (2) Check homogeneity with Levene's test. (3) If normality violated: Mann-Whitney U (independent) or Wilcoxon signed-rank (paired). If variance heterogeneity: use Welch's t-test.
ANOVA assumptions: (1) Normality per group. (2) Homogeneity via Levene's test. (3) For repeated measures: check sphericity (Mauchly's test); if violated, apply Greenhouse-Geisser (epsilon < 0.75) or Huynh-Feldt (epsilon > 0.75) correction. (4) If normality violated: Kruskal-Wallis (independent) or Friedman (repeated).
Linear regression assumptions: (1) Linearity via residuals-vs-fitted plot. (2) Independence via Durbin-Watson test (1.5-2.5 acceptable). (3) Homoscedasticity via Breusch-Pagan test + scale-location plot. (4) Normality of residuals via Q-Q plot + Shapiro-Wilk. (5) Multicollinearity via VIF (>10 = severe, >5 = moderate).
Logistic regression assumptions: (1) Independence. (2) Linearity of log-odds with continuous predictors (Box-Tidwell test). (3) No perfect multicollinearity (VIF). (4) Adequate sample size (10-20 events per predictor minimum).

Misinterpreting p-values as probability of the hypothesis being true. p-values measure P(data | H0), not P(H0 | data). How to avoid: Use precise language: "If the null hypothesis were true, the probability of observing data this extreme is p = ..."
Confusing statistical significance with practical importance. A large sample can make trivially small effects significant. How to avoid: Always report and interpret effect sizes alongside p-values
Running post-hoc power analysis after a non-significant result. Post-hoc power is a mathematical function of the p-value and adds no new information. How to avoid: Use sensitivity analysis instead -- determine what effect size the study could detect at 80% power
Ignoring assumption violations and proceeding with parametric tests. How to avoid: Run assumption checks systematically. Use Welch's corrections, non-parametric alternatives, or transformations when violated
Multiple comparisons without correction. Running 20 tests at alpha = .05 gives ~64% chance of at least one false positive. How to avoid: Apply Bonferroni, Holm, or FDR correction. Report both corrected and uncorrected p-values
Treating ordinal data as continuous. Likert scales are ordinal -- means and standard deviations assume equal intervals. How to avoid: Use non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis) or ordinal regression

# Statistical Analysis
## Overview
Statistical analysis is the systematic process of selecting appropriate tests, verifying assumptions, quantifying effect magnitudes, and reporting results. This knowhow guides test selection, assumption diagnostics, and APA-style reporting for frequentist and Bayesian analyses in academic research.
## Key Concepts
### Frequentist vs Bayesian Framework
| Aspect | Frequentist | Bayesian |
|--------|-------------|----------|
| Core output | p-value, confidence interval | Posterior distribution, credible interval |
| Interpretation | "How likely is this data if H0 is true?" | "How likely is H1 given the data?" |
| Null support | Cannot support H0 (only fail to reject) | Can quantify evidence for H0 via Bayes Factor |
| Prior info | Not used | Incorporated via prior distributions |
| Sample size | Requires adequate power | Works with any sample size |
| Best for | Standard analyses, large samples | Small samples, prior info, complex models |
### Statistical vs Practical Significance
A statistically significant result (p < .05) may be trivially small in practice. Always report:
- **Effect size**: Magnitude of the effect (Cohen's d, eta-squared, r, R-squared)
- **Confidence interval**: Precision of the estimate
- **Context**: Clinical/practical relevance in the domain
### Common Effect Sizes
| Test | Effect Size | Small | Medium | Large |
|------|-------------|-------|--------|-------|
| t-test | Cohen's d | 0.20 | 0.50 | 0.80 |
| t-test (small n) | Hedges' g | 0.20 | 0.50 | 0.80 |
| ANOVA | eta-squared partial | 0.01 | 0.06 | 0.14 |
| ANOVA | omega-squared | 0.01 | 0.06 | 0.14 |
| Correlation | r | 0.10 | 0.30 | 0.50 |
| Regression | R-squared | 0.02 | 0.13 | 0.26 |
| Regression | f-squared | 0.02 | 0.15 | 0.35 |
| Chi-square | Cramer's V | 0.07 | 0.21 | 0.35 |
| Chi-square 2x2 | phi coefficient | 0.10 | 0.30 | 0.50 |
Cohen's benchmarks are guidelines, not rigid thresholds -- domain context always matters.
### Assumptions Overview
Most parametric tests require:
1. **Independence**: Observations are independent of each other
2. **Normality**: Data (or residuals) are approximately normally distributed
3. **Homogeneity of variance**: Groups have similar variances (for group comparisons)
4. **Linearity**: Relationship between variables is linear (for regression)
When assumptions are violated:
- **Normality violated, n > 30**: Proceed -- parametric tests are robust with large samples
- **Normality violated, n < 30**: Use non-parametric alternative
- **Variance heterogeneity**: Use Welch's correction (t-test) or Welch's ANOVA
- **Linearity violated**: Add polynomial terms, transform variables, or use GAMs
### Test-Specific Assumption Workflows
**T-test assumptions**: (1) Check normality per group with Shapiro-Wilk + Q-Q plots. (2) Check homogeneity with Levene's test. (3) If normality violated: Mann-Whitney U (independent) or Wilcoxon signed-rank (paired). If variance heterogeneity: use Welch's t-test.
**ANOVA assumptions**: (1) Normality per group. (2) Homogeneity via Levene's test. (3) For repeated measures: check sphericity (Mauchly's test); if violated, apply Greenhouse-Geisser (epsilon < 0.75) or Huynh-Feldt (epsilon > 0.75) correction. (4) If normality violated: Kruskal-Wallis (independent) or Friedman (repeated).
**Linear regression assumptions**: (1) Linearity via residuals-vs-fitted plot. (2) Independence via Durbin-Watson test (1.5-2.5 acceptable). (3) Homoscedasticity via Breusch-Pagan test + scale-location plot. (4) Normality of residuals via Q-Q plot + Shapiro-Wilk. (5) Multicollinearity via VIF (>10 = severe, >5 = moderate).
**Logistic regression assumptions**: (1) Independence. (2) Linearity of log-odds with continuous predictors (Box-Tidwell test). (3) No perfect multicollinearity (VIF). (4) Adequate sample size (10-20 events per predictor minimum).
### Specialized Test Categories
Beyond the main decision flowchart, several specialized test families address specific data types:
**Survival / time-to-event analysis**:
- **Log-rank test**: Compares survival curves between groups (non-parametric)
- **Cox proportional hazards**: Models time-to-event with covariates; assumes proportional hazards
- **Parametric survival models**: Weibull, exponential, log-normal for known distributional forms
- Use when outcome is time until an event (death, relapse, failure) with possible censoring
**Count outcome models**:
- **Poisson regression**: For count data where mean approximately equals variance
- **Negative binomial regression**: For overdispersed counts (variance > mean)
- **Zero-inflated models**: For excess zeros beyond what Poisson/NB predicts
- Use when outcome is a count (number of events, incidents, occurrences)
**Agreement and reliability**:
- **Cohen's kappa**: Inter-rater agreement for categorical ratings (2 raters)
- **Fleiss' kappa / Krippendorff's alpha**: Agreement for >2 raters
- **Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)**: Continuous ratings reliability
- **Cronbach's alpha**: Internal consistency of multi-item scales
- **Bland-Altman analysis**: Agreement between two measurement methods (continuous)
- Use when assessing measurement reliability or inter-rater consistency
**Categorical data extensions**:
- **McNemar's test**: Paired binary outcomes (2x2)
- **Cochran's Q test**: Paired binary outcomes (3+ conditions)
- **Cochran-Armitage trend test**: Ordered categories in contingency tables

## Best Practices
1. **Pre-register analyses** when possible to distinguish confirmatory from exploratory findings. Specify primary outcome, tests, and correction methods before data collection
2. **Always check assumptions before interpreting results**. Run normality tests (Shapiro-Wilk), homogeneity tests (Levene's), and residual diagnostics. Document results even when assumptions are met
3. **Report effect sizes with confidence intervals** for every test. p-values alone are insufficient -- effect sizes convey practical importance
4. **Report all planned analyses** including non-significant findings. Selective reporting inflates false positive rates
5. **Use appropriate multiple comparison corrections**. Bonferroni (conservative), Holm (step-down, less conservative), or FDR/Benjamini-Hochberg (for many tests). Choose based on the number of comparisons and acceptable error rate
6. **Visualize data before and after analysis**. Box plots for group comparisons, scatter plots for correlations, residual plots for regression diagnostics
7. **Conduct sensitivity analyses** to assess robustness: re-run with outliers removed, different transformations, or alternative tests
8. **Anti-pattern -- p-hacking**: Testing multiple outcomes, subgroups, or model specifications until p < .05 inflates false positives. Pre-register to avoid
9. **Anti-pattern -- HARKing** (Hypothesizing After Results are Known): Presenting exploratory findings as confirmatory undermines scientific integrity
10. **Anti-pattern -- misinterpreting non-significance**: Failure to reject H0 does not mean H0 is true. Use Bayesian methods or equivalence testing to support null
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Misinterpreting p-values as probability of the hypothesis being true**. p-values measure P(data | H0), not P(H0 | data). *How to avoid*: Use precise language: "If the null hypothesis were true, the probability of observing data this extreme is p = ..."
2. **Confusing statistical significance with practical importance**. A large sample can make trivially small effects significant. *How to avoid*: Always report and interpret effect sizes alongside p-values
3. **Running post-hoc power analysis after a non-significant result**. Post-hoc power is a mathematical function of the p-value and adds no new information. *How to avoid*: Use sensitivity analysis instead -- determine what effect size the study could detect at 80% power
4. **Ignoring assumption violations and proceeding with parametric tests**. *How to avoid*: Run assumption checks systematically. Use Welch's corrections, non-parametric alternatives, or transformations when violated
5. **Multiple comparisons without correction**. Running 20 tests at alpha = .05 gives ~64% chance of at least one false positive. *How to avoid*: Apply Bonferroni, Holm, or FDR correction. Report both corrected and uncorrected p-values
6. **Treating ordinal data as continuous**. Likert scales are ordinal -- means and standard deviations assume equal intervals. *How to avoid*: Use non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis) or ordinal regression
