All of these factors should be considered before choosing a statistical test, as they can influence the appropriateness of different tests. The number of independent variables can determine whether a test is univariate or multivariate, the scale of measurement of the dependent variable can determine whether parametric or non-parametric tests are appropriate, within or between subject design can affect the use of repeated measures ANOVA, and the number of subjects can affect the power of the test.
