This is the best explanation I have found for this test yet, thank you so much! The only thing I would add in an updated version is the solving of a full question from start to finish (as a university student, questions usually indicate that normality is not guaranteed, and leave the rest to you. It would be nice to see the process of completing this test in questions with a specific provided scenario.)
I feel like what I struggle with the most in my career, is developing the familiarity I need to confidently pick the most appropriate statistical test. You have to develop some level of intimate familiarity with each test to know when it is appropriate and when it is not and that actually takes a lot of time to get decent at.
Thank you so much. I'm not fluent in English, but I can understand your explanation really well. It's very helpful. I have a question, how to do Kruskal-Wallis Test on sample data of plant leaf growth that were observed at 1-week intervals. Is the Kruskal-Wallis Test conducted for each observation (such as the first observation, second observation, etc.) or is it conducted only once with the data made one from all observations from the first to the end?
Would it make sense to do a kruskal-wallis significance test for scaled indices that have been scaled 0-1 with min-max? Thank you ❤ (for microbiome data, comparing 3 groups)
Thanks for the informative video! Can the Kruskal-Wallis test be used instead of a 2-way ANOVA when assumptions have been violated? If not, which test would you recommend? Best James
The Kruskal-Wallis test is more closely aligned with a one-way ANOVA, as it's used to compare three or more independent groups on a single, continuous dependent variable. If you're dealing with a situation that would normally require a two-way ANOVA (involving two independent variables), the Kruskal-Wallis test wouldn't be the direct equivalent because it doesn't accommodate the analysis of interaction effects between two independent variables. Unfortunately there is no non-parametric counterpart, at least not that I know of! Regards Hannah
A repeated Mesures ANOVA is the parametric copunterpart to the Kruskal Wallis Test. So if all assumptions are meet you can use the rm ANOVA. Regards Hannah
I am curious about why chi-squared can be used at the end. When reading about chi-squared, it says it is only suitable for a large sample size (about N>50). But Kruskal-Wallis-Test can be used even with a much smaller sample size. My guess is chi-squared is just an approximation of the actual distribution (H distribution?), but I am not very sure.
Hello, I think I do not quite understand the question unfortunately! The normal distribution has nothing to do with the null hypothesis. Regards Hannah

Hello! Thank you for your video. You said that the expected value equation is when there is no difference in the group? Do you mean the same number of samples in each group? What if there is different number of samples in each group? Thank you
Hello many thanks for your question! Ff the requirements for the test are met and it is suitable it should be used. Just because the p value does not come out as you want it, you should not simply change the test, that is not scientifically clean! Regards Hannah
@@datatab oh sorry, I think my sentence construction is incorrect. What I was actually meaning to say was would there be other tests that can be used to find which among the variables is/are the odd one out (if null is rejected)
Thank you so much for the video! I'm currently running this test with ordinal categories (salary range) and number of right answers on a test (discrete variable), is this appropriate?
Won't the null-hypothesis be rejected in this case? I think you said it will be retained or in other words, not rejected. The critical value is shown to be 5.901 while the H-value comes out to be 0.5; doesn't that mean that the chance of our observation as a result is less than 5% had the null-hypothesis been true, and hence it should be rejected? Thank you in advance.
No. That H-stat corresponds to the Chi^2 stat. We are reading from a table of critical values and finding that our H stat would have to exceed 5.901 to yield a p-value below our alpha threshold of .05

Count how many of each type of tie there are (2-way tie, 3-way tie, etc.) and assign each tie a weight. An “n-way” tie for the purposes of the correction has weight n^3-n. Add up all the weights and divide by x^3 - x, where x is the total number of data points. Subtract this fraction from 1 to get the correction factor, then divide the calculated test statistic by the correction factor. For example, say we have 25 data points in all that have between them 3 2-way ties and 2 4-way ties in the ranks. A 2-way tie has a weight of 2^3 - 2, or 6, and we have 3 of them, so that adds up to 3*6, or 18. The 4-way ties each have a weight of 4^3 - 4, or 60, and there are 2, so that makes 2*60, or 120. The sum is 18 + 120, or 138. So, divide 138 by (25^3 - 25) to get (138/15600) and subtract this from 1 to get (15462/15600). Divide your calculated test statistic by (15462/15600) to get the corrected value.
Oh sorry, I can't tell you off the top of my head either! Maybe you use a generalized regression model with ranks and there is no separate name for the method, but I do not know exactly!
I don’t know about whether there even exists a non parametric alternative for 3-way ANOVA or higher, but for 2-way balanced factorial ANOVA, it’s called the Schierer Ray Hare test.
In this case you will use the Friedman Test: The Friedman test analyzes whether there are statistically significant differences between three or more dependent samples. Here is my Video for the Friedman Test ua-cam.com/video/2moNzzkkZwU/v-deo.html
Madam, Kruskal Wallis is non parametric test compared to ANoVa. Once there is group difference later we go for post hoc to observe which group is different from others. For kruskal Wallis, in data tab, is there feature available for post hoc ? Thanks for your time 🤲🤲🌹🙏
THANK YOU! I should use this test for an Ordinal (1-5 from a Likert scale) Depend Variable, with Independet nominal variables with more than 2 levels, right?
