Well, there might be such a thing as a 'stupid question'. I measured a variable having an underlying continuous distribution (distance between two animals: mother and offspring) and calculated median values for these pairs. I mostly used median because distance was divided into some categories that are uneven (larger categories as the distance gets longer). The distribution of distances ended up being relatively normal with equal variance among groups. Is it possible to use an ANOVA (parametric) to compare these medians rather than a non-parametric test such as Kruskal-Wallis? The ANOVA has the advantage of being able to include two variables at once. Thanks in advance! ... View more
