There are four kinds of evidence that can be used to support a claim or a counterclaim. These are known as statistical, testimonial, anecdotal, and analogical. Statistical evidence deals with numbers and quantitative data, a testimonial is a witness who stands as the source of evidence. Anecdotal and analogical evidence, on the other hand, are usually unused
