- Summary of type of statistical tests used for data analysis.

Descriptive AnalysisFrequency, percentage, mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, and skewness of the data.
Bivariate analysis
  • a. T-test or Mann–Whitney U test depending on variables in the dataset, between a continuous and a dichotomous categorical variable.

  • b. ANOVA or Kruskal–Walli’s test depending on variables in the dataset. In the case of ANOVA, a Post HOC ‘Scheffe/Tukey HSD’ test was also done for intergroup comparison of means.

  • c. Chi-square test was done between two categorical variables.

  • d. Correlation analysis: Spearmen or Pearson tests depending on variables in the dataset.

  • e. Simple Linear Regression was done to find a linear relationship between two continuous variables.

Multivariate analysisMultiple linear regression if the defined outcome was a continuous variable.
