Either we can merge data from two groups and form two independent samples which according to my manual will allow me to apply either the independent sample t test or the mannwhitney u. Im not an expert on non parametric tests and not able to find much information on. This is often the assumption that the population data are normally distributed. Mannwhitney u test and wilcoxon test for two groups. Spss nonparametric tests are mostly used when assumptions arent met for other tests such as anova or t tests. Spss converts the raw data into rankings before comparing groups ordinal level these tests are advised when scores on the dv are ordinal when scores are interval, but anova is not robust enough to deal with the existing deviations from assumptions for.

For example, when comparing two independent groups in terms of a continuous outcome, the null hypothesis in a parametric test is h 0. Help online origin help nonparametric tests pro only. The independent samples t test is a parametric test. In these situations, a statistical test for independent groups is inappropriate because the data are paired. Then, u is the sum of the numbers of scores from the experimental group that are less than each of a control group. My question is, is there a test that deals with dependent samples. This test is used to test for significant differences between two conditions of an independent variable in an experiment where the dependent variable involves ranked data.
