Correct statistical analyses

[JJ9906]

Hello,

I have a project I'm working on and I am unsure about which statistical analysis would be correct. My professor is not helping much and I am terrified of failing.

I have two groups that I want to compare their results after treatment. One receives treatment and another group doesn't. Should I use an unpaired t-test or is there a different one?

If I want to examine the likeliness of the illness to come back depending on factors like health history, would I use a binary logistic regression? I want the model to help predict the likelihood of the illness depending on factors.

Finally, if I want to examine the time the illness came back depending on factors like health history, would I use cox proportional regression model? I want the model to help predict the time of the illness coming back depending on factors.

Thank you to anyone who helps!

I depends on sample size and the level of measurement. If total n > 30 and the dependent variable is interval scaled,
then the Welch-corrected independent samples t-test seems appropriate.

If I want to examine the likeliness of the illness to come back depending on factors like health history, would I use a binary logistic regression? I want the model to help predict the likelihood of the illness depending on factors.

For the prediction of a binary variable by several other variables, multiple binary logistic regression is a good choice.

Finally, if I want to examine the time the illness came back depending on factors like health history, would I use cox proportional regression model? I want the model to help predict the time of the illness coming back depending on factors.

I suppose there are censored cases (no coming back of the illness during the observation period), so this looks
appropriate.

With kind regards

Hello,
Thank you so much for your help! I truly appreciate it!

I have one last question: If the sample size is more than 30 and the dependent variable is a nominal variable, what would be the correct test?

I depends on sample size and the level of measurement. If total n > 30 and the dependent variable is interval scaled,
then the Welch-corrected independent samples t-test seems appropriate.
