A Guide To Select Appropriate Multivariable and Multivariate Statistical Methods 2021

This document provides a guide for selecting appropriate multivariable and multivariate statistical methods. It lists statistical tests based on the number of dependent and independent variables, and the type of dependent variable. For a single dependent variable, it recommends tests like multiple linear regression, logistic regression, and ANOVA. For multiple dependent variables, it suggests MANOVA, MANCOVA, repeated measures ANOVA, and cross-sectional time series analysis. It also provides six tips for choosing analyses based on the research question, study design, study purpose, outcome type, sample structure, and statistical test.

SIX TIPS IN SELECTING APPROPRIATE MULTIVARIABLE
AND MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL ANALYSES

1) What is the research question?


2) What is the study design?
3) Is it an exploratory or a confirmatory analysis?
4) What is the outcome?
5) Is it an independent sample or a dependent sample?
6) What is the statistical analysis?
