How to compare two discrete variables before and after?
Make two histograms or make two box plots -
Which test is appropriate to test if two qualitative variables relate?
Make a cross table and do a chi squared test (with chi square test all cells should have a count of at least 5) (row 1 * row 2 / total count) -
Which test is appropriate if you measure or describe the relation between two qualitative variables?
Kendall tau-b if 2x2 of 3x3 if ordinal x ordinal
Kendall tau-c if 2x3 or 1x3 if ordinal x ordinal
Cramer's V is norminal x ordinal -
Which test is appropriate if you estimate the difference between two quantitative variables of two independent samples?
