Why It Exists
Choosing a statistical test is often the first place a small-sample or applied-research project stalls. StatChooser turns that choice into a short, answerable sequence instead of a lookup table, and keeps a record of the path taken so the decision can be checked or cited later.
What You Can Do
- Answer four questions about research goal, design, data type, and measurement level
- Get a recommended test with the reasoning behind it
- Build a decision record as you answer, exportable for a methods section
- Move from a recommendation into

Access And Limitations
StatChooser is free to use in the browser and does not require an account. It recommends a starting point for common designs, it does not replace judgement on edge cases or unusual designs.
