When statistically comparing outcomes between two groups, researchers have to decide whether to use parametric methods, such as the t-test, or non-parametric methods, like the Mann-Whitney test. In endocrinology, for example, many studies compare hormone levels between groups, or at different points in time. Many papers apply nonparametric tests to compare groups. We will explain that non-parametric tests have clear drawbacks in medical research, and, that's the good news, they are often not necessary.
