Asking Questions of Continuous Data If Normal, summarize by mean, SD, CV > Two Groups: cu1way (ebars=1-3) n>1? 1-sample t vs pop.mean >1 Var? Pearson If not Normal, summarize by median, IQR Two Groups: Wilcoxon rank sum n>1? Wilcoxon signed rank vs pop.median >1 Variable? Spearman 2-Tx Crossover? Wilcoxon signed rank >2-Tx Crossover? Friedman Two Groups: unpaired t > Two Groups: cu1way (ebars=4) One Group: n=1? z-score One Group: n=1 subject? percentile >2-Tx Crossover? curepmeas 2-Tx Crossover? paired t What If Other Factors, Covariates? 2 factors? cu2way 1 factor+1 covariate? cucov1way 2 factors+1 covariate? cucov2way 2 factors? curepmeas Calculate change; cu2way etc as on right What If Other Factors, Covariates? Can t do.
