When to use "parametric" vs "nonparametric"?

Hello! When analyzing survey data, the choice between parametric and nonparametric methods depends on the characteristics of your data and the assumptions you can make.
Parametric Methods: Use for normally distributed data with interval/ratio scales and when you can assume specific distributions.
Nonparametric Methods: Use for data that doesn’t meet parametric assumptions, with ordinal scales, or small sample sizes.
