1 Sample Test (T Test) | A test used to measure the statistical difference of the mean (a.k.a. average) of a continuous (a.k.a. variable or numerical) value to a standard like a goal or target. It is generally used when the distribution for the continuous value is normal, hence the use of the mean. When the distribution is non-normal, the mean may not be valid so the median would be a better measure for central tendency; in those cases, try the 1 Sample Wilcoxon Test or 1 Sample Sign Test. |
