Study Notes
Hypothesis Testing
- Hypothesis: A tentative statement about a relationship or difference between variables, often based on prior knowledge and observations.
- Hypothesis Testing: A systematic process used in research to determine whether evidence from a sample supports or refutes a hypothesis about a population.
- Parametric Tests: Tests used for data that follows a normal distribution. These are used to assess means, differences between means, proportions, variances, and correlations.
- Hypothesis Testing of Means: Procedure to determine if a sample mean statistically differs from a hypothesized population mean.
- Hypothesis Testing for Differences between Means: Methods to determine if there's a significant difference between the means of two independent groups.
- Hypothesis Testing for Comparing Two Related Samples: Techniques to assess if there's a significant difference between paired samples, such as before-and-after measurements.
- Hypothesis Testing of Proportions: Methods to gauge if a sample proportion differs from a hypothesized population proportion.
- Hypothesis Testing for Difference between Proportions: Used to analyze the difference in proportions between two independent groups.
- Hypothesis Testing for Comparing a Variance to Some Hypothesized Population Variance: Procedures to test if a sample variance is significantly different from a specified population variance.
- Testing the Equality of Variances of Two Normal Populations: Methods to determine if the variances of two normal populations are equal.
- Hypothesis Testing of Correlation Coefficients: Tests used to assess the significance of a correlation between two variables.
- Limitations of Hypothesis Tests: Methods have limitations concerning factors like sample size, assumptions, and specific situations.
Chi-Square Test
- Chi-Square as a Test for Comparing Variance: Method for analyzing if observed variances differ significantly from expected variances.
- Chi-Square as a Non-parametric Test: Used for categorical data, assessing if observed frequencies differ from expected frequencies.
- Conditions for the Application of χ Test: Specifies when and how the Chi-Square Test can be used.
- Steps Involved in Applying Chi-Square Test: A step-by-step procedure for performing the test.
- Alternative Formula: Alternative mathematical representation of the test.
- Yates' Correction: Adjustment for small expected frequencies within contingency tables.
- Conversion of χ into Phi Coefficient: Transforming chi-square into a correlation-like coefficient.
- Conversion of χ into Coefficient by Contingency: Conversion to contingency coefficient.
- Important Characteristics of χ Test: Highlights key features of the Chi-Square Test.
- Caution in Using χ Test: Potential pitfalls or issues when applying and interpreting the results.
Analysis of Variance and Covariance
- Analysis of Variance (ANOVA): Statistical method for analyzing the differences among the means of more than two groups.
- What is ANOVA?: Details explaining ANOVA
- The Basic Principle of ANOVA: The underlying logic and justification of ANOVA.
- ANOVA Technique: The methodology behind the procedure.
- Setting up Analysis of Variance Table: Process of creating the analysis table to present results.
- Short-cut Method (One-way ANOVA): An efficient approach for one-way ANOVA.
- Coding Method: Coding techniques within ANOVA.
- Two-way ANOVA: Methods for analyzing the effects of two-factors on the study variable.
- ANOVA in Latin-Square Design: ANOVA applying to Latin-square experimental design.
- Analysis of Covariance (ANOCOVA): Extension of ANOVA to include the effect of a covariate.
- ANOCOVA Technique: Explained method of the procedure.
- Assumptions in ANOCOVA: Conditions of ANOCOVA.
Research Design and Sampling
- Working Hypotheses: Hypotheses developed before the study, based on prior knowledge and evidence.
- Research Design: A framework that guides the research, ensuring efficiency and relevance.
- Research Purposes: Classification of research into exploration, description, diagnosis, and experimentation.
- Research Designs: Various approaches, including experimental and non-experimental methods.
- Experimental Designs: Different types of experimental designs, like informal and formal.
- Sample Designs: Methodologies for selecting a representative subgroup of a larger group for research.
- Probability Samples: Samples where every member of the population has a known probability of selection.
- Non-probability Samples: Samples where the probability of selection isn't known for each member of the population.
- Deliberate Sampling: Selection of specific elements based on researcher's judgment.
- Convenience Sampling: Choosing units based on ease of access.
- Judgement Sampling: Selection relying on the researcher's expertise.
- Simple Random Sampling: Every member has an equal chance of selection.
- Other sampling methods (potentially): Stratified, cluster, systematic sampling methods.
