§ A stepwise decision guide

Choose the right statistical test — carefully.

Answer a short series of questions about your data and your research question. Biostat Compass will recommend the canonical test, explain why it fits, and hand you ready-to-adapt R and Python code with guidance for reading the output.

Verify before you trust. This is a guide, not an oracle. Check the assumptions of the recommended test against your own data and consult your textbook, your instructor, or a biostatistician before publishing. Do not blindly follow the result.
