Does hand-to-hand favor different SPECIAL attributes than ranged combat, and how?

Fallout Shelter recently added melee / hand-to-hand weapons to the game.

How do SPECIAL stats enhance hand-to-hand attacks as opposed to SPECIAL attributes enhancing ranged weapon (gun) attacks? Is there a difference, and if so, what is it?
