Compare groups
From the Analysis menu choose Compare groups, and choose the dependent variable(s) you want to analyze, choose the Grouping variable, then hit OK.
In the Display options... dialog, the minimum and maximum of the y-axis, and (new in v2.4) the way groups are displayed can be set.
The following results will be calculated (see also the common elements of the results):
Raw data
| Result | For interval variables | For ordinal variables | For nominal variables |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sample size | Number of observed cases | Number of observed cases | Number of observed cases |
| Graphs of the raw data | Plot with individual data | Plot with individual data (order of the values) | Mosaic plot |
Sample properties
| Result | For interval variables | For ordinal variables | For nominal variables |
|---|---|---|---|
| Descriptive data | Means, Standard deviations, Maximums, Upper quartiles, Medians, Lower quartiles, Minimums | Maximums, Upper quartiles, Medians, Lower quartiles, Minimums | Variation ratio, Contingency table (case count), Contingency table (percentage) |
| Standardized effect size | For two groups Cohen’s d and eta-squared | Cramér’s V | |
| Graphs of the data | Box plot with individual data | Box plot with individual data (order of the values) |
Population properties
| Result | For interval variables | For ordinal variables | For nominal variables |
|---|---|---|---|
| Population parameters numerically | Mean with 95% CI | Median and its confidence interval | Contingency table (confidence interval, multinomial proportions with Goodman method) |
| Graphs of the population parameters | Graph with mean and 95% CI of the mean | ||
| Standardized effect size | * For two groups, Hedges’ g and its confidence interval * If one-way ANOVA was run, then omega-squared effect size. |
||
| Hypothesis test for two groups and sensitivity power analyses | When one of the groups includes a single case, if the control group is normal (measured with Shapiro-Wilk test) then modified t-test, otherwise (up to v2.4) Mann-Whitney test, (from v2.5) Brunner-Munzel test. If the Single case slope is set, then slope comparison.For comparing two groups if the data are normal (measured with Shapiro-Wilk test) and homoscedastic (measured with Levene’s test), then two-sample t-test and (new in v2.3) Bayesian two-samples t-test For non-normal groups, (up to v2.4) Mann-Whitney test, (from v2.5) Brunner-Munzel test For normal but heteroscedastic groups, Welch’s t-test Confidence interval of the difference of the groups For two-sample t-test sensitivity power analyses |
(up to v2.4) Mann-Whitney test, (from v2.5) Brunner-Munzel test | Chi-squared test and sensitivity power analyses |
| Hypothesis test for more than two groups and sensitivity power analyses | If the data are normal (measured with Shapiro-Wilk test) and homoscedastic (measured with Levene’s test) one-way ANOVA If ANOVA is significant, post hoc Tukey’s HSD tests Otherwise, Kruskal-Wallis test If the Kruskal-Wallis test is significant, post hoc Dunn’s test For one-way ANOVA sensitivity power analyses displayed as eta-square and as f. |
Kruskal-Wallis test If the Kruskal-Wallis test is significant, post hoc Dunn’s test |
Chi-squared test and sensitivity power analyses |
| Hypothesis test for two or more grouping variables | Two-way ANOVA or multi-way ANOVA |
