Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Some statistical analyses, such as chi-square and analyses of variance (ANOVA), are used to test for differences among groups in studies including more than two groups. These tests do not indicate which groups are different. Post hoc analyses are used to identify the specific groups that are different.
Confirmatory analysis is performed to confirm expectations regarding the data.
Predictive research seeks to forecast situations in the future based on current knowledge.
Relational analysis determines a connection between the variables.
