| parametric statistics |
Can be carried out on data which is interval or ratio scale, and thus is suitable for arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction. This enables parameters such as mean and standard deviation to be defined.

In general, a parameter is a number (an integer, a decimal) indexing a function. For instance, the F-distribution used to test decompositions of variance has two parameters, both integers: the counts of the degrees of freedom for the two variances whose ratio is being tested. ...

tests make certain assumptions about the data on which the test is performed. First, there is the assumption that the data is drawn from a normal distribution (see below), second that the data is measured on an interval scale (eg any interval between two measurements is meaningful - such as a person's height in cms). Thirdly, parametric tests make use of parameters such as the mean and standard deviation.
