Statistics : T-test & Chi-Square test
Introduction:
In statistics we have various types of test to validate the a single group or multiple groups.Here we can say a group as a feature in the data set.These features can be either categorical or numerical features.
With the help of T-test and Chi-square test we can conclude that if the given group/feature’s are independent or dependent with each other.
T-test :
When we want to compare one or two numerical variable for independence we use T-test.Git Link
It is of three types.
1-Sample T-test
2-Sample T-Test or Independent T-test
3-Paired T-test
1-Sample T-test
To compare population mean and sample means if they are same or different we use 1-Sample T-test.
Below code to test in Python.
2-Sample T-Test or Independent T-test
Sample T-test will compare two independent means of two features to validate if both are same or different
3-Paired T-test
We go for paired t-test when we want to compare different means of same group taken at different time interval.
Chi-Square test:
Chi-Square test is used to compare two categorical variables to see if they are same or different .Git Link
Conclusion: These test are very important in data Preprocessing and feature engineering steps where we drop the columns which depict same information to avoid multicollinearity issue.
