Nonparametric Tests2x2 Chi-squared contingency table Test whether there is an interrelation between two nominal scaled variables represented in a contingency table Mann-Whitney U test Non-parametric test for comparison of the central tendencies of two independent samples Wilcoxon signed-rank test Non-parametric test for comparison of the central tendencies of two dependent samples. Dependent variable at least interval scaled. Sign test Non-parametric test for comparison of the central tendencies of two dependent samples. Dependent variable at least ordinal scaled. Kruskal-Wallis test Non-parametric test for comparison of the central tendencies of more than two independent samples. One-way analysis of variance by ranks. Friedman test Non-parametric test for comparison of the central tendencies of more than two dependent samples. Repeated measurements one-way analysis of variance by ranks.
