[@notnominal7013]

This is the best explanation I have found for this test yet, thank you so much! The only thing I would add in an updated version is the solving of a full question from start to finish (as a university student, questions usually indicate that normality is not guaranteed, and leave the rest to you. It would be nice to see the process of completing this test in questions with a specific provided scenario.)

[@datatab]

Hi many thanks for your feedback! That is a great point! I will have a look at it. Regards Hannah

[@shawnaoflaherty6592]

This was so clear, thank you! I've been struggling to understand this concept for a while now.

[@deepap1307]

Best statistical tutorials for those who want to study it. Thank you very much for your help.

[@jacobobesser]

I feel like what I struggle with the most in my career, is developing the familiarity I need to confidently pick the most appropriate statistical test. You have to develop some level of intimate familiarity with each test to know when it is appropriate and when it is not and that actually takes a lot of time to get decent at.

Thank you so much. I'm not fluent in English, but I can understand your explanation really well. It's very helpful. I have a question, how to do Kruskal-Wallis Test on sample data of plant leaf growth that were observed at 1-week intervals. Is the Kruskal-Wallis Test conducted for each observation (such as the first observation, second observation, etc.) or is it conducted only once with the data made one from all observations from the first to the end?

[@madhavkumarudayasankarmyth4346]

Nice presentation. The tutorial is a great help.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

Helpful, thanks! So it's like the Mann-Whitney test, but for more than 2 groups.

[@datatab]

Glad it was helpful! Yes exactly! Regards Hannah

[@sib7024]

Can we also use paired ANOVA ?? Because I am working on Spss and after inserting data I checked normality test and it says that it's parametric

[@datatab]

A repeated Mesures ANOVA is the parametric copunterpart to the Kruskal Wallis Test. So if all assumptions are meet you can use the rm ANOVA. Regards Hannah

[@wisnuops]

I am curious about why chi-squared can be used at the end. When reading about chi-squared, it says it is only suitable for a large sample size (about N>50). But Kruskal-Wallis-Test can be used even with a much smaller sample size. My guess is chi-squared is just an approximation of the actual distribution (H distribution?), but I am not very sure.

[@darkredrose7683]

Would it make sense to do a kruskal-wallis significance test for scaled indices that have been scaled 0-1 with min-max? Thank you ❤ (for microbiome data, comparing 3 groups)

[@aliaabelal9742]

Best explanation

[@JamesSmith-xp6ni]

Thanks for the informative video! Can the Kruskal-Wallis test be used instead of a 2-way ANOVA when assumptions have been violated? If not, which test would you recommend? Best James

[@datatab]

The Kruskal-Wallis test is more closely aligned with a one-way ANOVA, as it's used to compare three or more independent groups on a single, continuous dependent variable. If you're dealing with a situation that would normally require a two-way ANOVA (involving two independent variables), the Kruskal-Wallis test wouldn't be the direct equivalent because it doesn't accommodate the analysis of interaction effects between two independent variables. Unfortunately there is no non-parametric counterpart, at least not that I know of! Regards Hannah

Can run this test for measure relationship in continous and catergarical variable

[@datatab]

In this case you will use the Friedman Test: The Friedman test analyzes whether there are statistically significant differences between three or more dependent samples. Here is my Video for the Friedman Test kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ7Sf62woNCNrbc

Does this H formula still hold even if there are ties in ranks?

[@datatab]

When you have tied ranks the calculation is a little different! Regards Hannah

[@rakthestudentactuary5077]

@@datatab Different how?🙂 How were we going to approach it if there were ties?

[@datatab]

@@rakthestudentactuary5077 Unfortunately I haven't prepared anything for that yet, maybe it will come soon! I can't answer it here in the comments, just google it : )

[@woodchuk1]

Count how many of each type of tie there are (2-way tie, 3-way tie, etc.) and assign each tie a weight. An “n-way” tie for the purposes of the correction has weight n^3-n. Add up all the weights and divide by x^3 - x, where x is the total number of data points. Subtract this fraction from 1 to get the correction factor, then divide the calculated test statistic by the correction factor. For example, say we have 25 data points in all that have between them 3 2-way ties and 2 4-way ties in the ranks. A 2-way tie has a weight of 2^3 - 2, or 6, and we have 3 of them, so that adds up to 3*6, or 18. The 4-way ties each have a weight of 4^3 - 4, or 60, and there are 2, so that makes 2*60, or 120. The sum is 18 + 120, or 138. So, divide 138 by (25^3 - 25) to get (138/15600) and subtract this from 1 to get (15462/15600). Divide your calculated test statistic by (15462/15600) to get the corrected value.

[@GreyHatGenX]

What is the non-parametric test for 2 way and higher factorial anova?

[@datatab]

Oh sorry, I can't tell you off the top of my head either! Maybe you use a generalized regression model with ranks and there is no separate name for the method, but I do not know exactly!

[@woodchuk1]

I don’t know about whether there even exists a non parametric alternative for 3-way ANOVA or higher, but for 2-way balanced factorial ANOVA, it’s called the Schierer Ray Hare test.

[@datatab]

@@woodchuk1 Great! Many thanks!!!! Regards, Hannah

[@MalaMala-os2no]

Hi! at 6:59, for rank variance, is the 12 in the denominator due to the number of cases you have, or will 12 always be used? Great video btw

Hi, 12 will always be there! Regards, Hannah

[@annisaseminar7214]

Hello! Thank you for your video. You said that the expected value equation is when there is no difference in the group? Do you mean the same number of samples in each group? What if there is different number of samples in each group? Thank you

[@sarkar_ma]

Won't the null-hypothesis be rejected in this case? I think you said it will be retained or in other words, not rejected. The critical value is shown to be 5.901 while the H-value comes out to be 0.5; doesn't that mean that the chance of our observation as a result is less than 5% had the null-hypothesis been true, and hence it should be rejected? Thank you in advance.

[@joe8829]

No. That H-stat corresponds to the Chi^2 stat. We are reading from a table of critical values and finding that our H stat would have to exceed 5.901 to yield a p-value below our alpha threshold of .05
