Study Notes
Hypothesis Testing
- The purpose of a One Sample T-test is to compare the mean of a sample to a known population mean.
- A Two Independent Samples T-Test aims to determine whether there is a significant difference between the means of two independent groups.
- A Paired Data T-test is appropriate when there are paired measurements, such as before and after treatments.
ANOVA
- ANOVA stands for Analysis of Variance.
- A One Way ANOVA is typically used when comparing three or more means to determine if there are any significant differences between them.
- A Two Way ANOVA allows for the examination of the effect of two independent variables on a dependent variable.
Comparing Means
- The Paired Data T-test is the appropriate statistical test for comparing means from a quantitative variable when dealing with paired measurements.
- If the sample size is small and the data are clearly skewed or have outliers, a non-parametric test should be performed instead of the one-sample t-test.
- To avoid the loss of control over the experiment-wise significant level when comparing three or more means, ANOVA should be used instead of multiple t-tests.
Paired Measurements
- A Paired Data T-test is appropriate for analyzing the effect of a new anti-convulsion drug on selected patients, where the before and after measurements are available.
- To evaluate the effect of training on dietary diversity, a Paired Data T-test should be used to compare the baseline and end line measurements.
Skewed Data
- If there are severe outliers and the sample size is at least 15, a non-parametric test should be performed instead of the one-sample t-test.
- If the data are skewed or contain outliers and the sample size is small, a non-parametric test should be performed instead of the one-sample t-test.
Study Design
- A paired study design is appropriate to evaluate the effect of training on dietary diversity.
- When comparing three or more means, it is better to use an analysis of variance (ANOVA) instead of multiple one-sample t-tests because ANOVA allows for the control of the experiment-wise significant level.
Power
- If a study's test has enough power, it means that the sample size is sufficient to detect a statistically significant effect if one exists.
