Independence tests
Independence tests are statistical methods used to determine whether two variables are related or independent of each other. For example, they help assess if changes in one variable are associated with changes in another or if they occur separately. These tests analyze data to see if the observed relationship is significant or likely due to chance. If the test finds a significant connection, the variables are considered dependent; if not, they are considered independent. Such tests are common in research to understand relationships between factors in fields like medicine, social sciences, and business.
