Hypothesis tests are very commonly used in epidemiological investigations, and a wide number of tests are available. These can be classified into groups according to the [[Data types|data types]] in question, and according to whether a specific underlying distribution is assumed when performing the test (in which case, the test is known as a '''parametric test''').<br>
