Just came across some old files which had a simple structured way of looking at what type of analysis to use when and also on how to go about doing the same. And yes, this is just a basic overview and if you need to use any statistical method extensively, it is best to read it up from other sources! Each method is structured into 6 simple bits, What it does Typical Applications Input requirements and cautions Tools and How to use them Guidelines and Rules Of Thumb Output & How to interpret Hope this helps out when you are totally lost in statistics and have a pile of numbers to work with!!! -Sashi ([email protected]) Data Analysis Methods

Just came across some old files which had a simple structured way of looking at what type of analysis to use when and also on how to go about doing the same. And yes, this is just a basic overview and if you need to use any statistical method extensively, it is best to read it up from other sources!

Each method is structured into 6 simple bits,

•What it does•Typical Applications•Input requirements and cautions•Tools and How to use them•Guidelines and Rules Of Thumb•Output & How to interpret

Hope this helps out when you are totally lost in statistics and have a pile of numbers to work with!!!
