Data may be normally distributed in which case standard and relatively familiar tests may be used for inferential testing. Or data may be non-normally distributed, such as ordinal data, in which case, non-parametric tests are usually advocated. This paper will review current thinking with regard to these tests, and the appropriateness of their application/s.
数据可能呈正态分布，在这种情况下，可以使用标准且相对熟悉的检验方法进行推断性检验。或者数据可能呈非正态分布，例如有序数据，在这种情况下，通常提倡使用非参数检验。本文将回顾关于这些检验方法及其应用适用性的当前观点。
