    A binary variable is a variable that has two possible outcomes.
    For example, sex (male/female) or having a tattoo (yes/no) are both examples of a binary categorical variable.

  • What statistical test to use for binary data?

    McNemar test
    You would perform McNemar's test if you were interested in the marginal frequencies of two binary outcomes.
    These binary outcomes may be the same outcome variable on matched pairs (like a case-control study) or two outcome variables from a single group..

  • Descriptive statistics used to analyse data for a single categorical variable include frequencies, percentages, fractions and/or relative frequencies (which are simply frequencies divided by the sample size) obtained from the variable's frequency distribution table.
Binary data only take one of two values such as 'alive' or 'dead', 'male' or 'female'. We assign values 0 and 1 to the two states. For a single variable there 
Summarising one binary variable Binary data only take one of two values such as 'alive' or 'dead', 'male' or 'female'. We assign values 0 and 1 to the two 

What is the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics?

When we describe our sample in terms of for example, average age, or percentage female, we are undertaking descriptive statistics

When we draw conclusions about the whole population based on our sample data, it is called inferential statistics, because we are making inferences about the population based only on sample data

Binary data only take one of two values such as 'alive' or 'dead', 'male' or 'female'. We assign values 0 and 1 to the two states
