What is a Parametric Test?
12/06/2022 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS
A parametric test is a test used to test a hypothesis about a particular parameter structure. It examines the statistical properties of a set of variables to determine whether they fit a particular model. Parametric tests typically use parameters calculated from the distribution of theoretical parameters to confirm or reject a hypothesis. These tests are often used in statistics to test hypotheses about populations or treatment effects.
