In this example, a Median test analysis is performed on the fictitious banking data to analyze account usage.

  1. Parameterize a Median Test analysis as follows:
    • Available Tables — twm_customer
    • Column of Interest — income
    • Columns — marital_status
    • Group By Columns — years_with_bank
    • Analysis Parameters
      • Threshold Probability — 0.01
  2. Run the analysis.
  3. Click Results when it completes.

    For this example, the Median Test analysis generated the following table. The Median Test was computed on income over marital_status by years_with_bank.

    Results were sorted by years_with_bank. The tests shows that values came from populations with the same median where MedianCallP_0.01 = ‘a’ (accept null hypothesis) and from populations with different medians where it is ‘p’ (reject null hypothesis).
    The SQL is available for viewing but not listed below.
