FFI Reports and Analysis Statistical Analysis

• Test for differences between monitoring statuses
• Null hypothesis no difference
• Provide two options
• ANOVA assumes normal distribution of data
• Freidmans test distribution free
• If reject null hypothesis and gt3 monitoring

• ANOVA Dunnetts multiple comparison procedure
• Friedmans Multiple comparison test based on
