# Hypothesis tests

Licensed featureHypothesis tests require a paid license or an active free trial.

The Hypothesis Test feature allows you to run a relevant statistical test on your dataset, whether or not you have already made a visualization / graph. Start by selecting **Hypothesis Test** in the left-hand menu of your dataset view:

The [list of possible tests](/v1/docs/types-of-statistical-test) shows you what your options are. Any tests that can't be run at all on your dataset due to requiring too many variables of a given type will be greyed out, with an explanation:

Clearly, you need to have set the [types for your columns](/v1/docs/data-types) before this can be used.

Then you can **select the variables** you want to use for the test:

Then clicking **Calculate** will execute the actual test and you can see the results:

Need help choosing a test?You might want to consider using the [Graph Driven Test](/v1/docs/graph-driven-tests), which can help you select your test based on a graph that you have made. If the graph illustrates the effect you are looking to test, then it will choose the correct test for you (and explain why)!
