Study Notes

Quantitative Analytical Methods

  • This course covers advanced quantitative analytical methods.
  • A presenter, Dr. Emmanuel Jay D. Dima, RN, RM, LPT, is delivering the lecture.

Correlation

  • Correlation uses statistical analysis to describe the relationship between two variables.
  • Correlation results do not establish a causal relationship.

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

  • ANOVA analysis determines if differences in means or averages of two data categories are statistically significant.
  • Example: Comparing grades of students who attend tutorials versus those who don't.

Regression

  • Regression shares similarities with correlation by showing relationships between variables.
  • Unlike correlation, regression provides broader results and assesses if one variable can predict another.
  • For instance, music during review can predict concept learning.
  • Regression, like correlation, cannot establish cause-and-effect.

Statistical Methods

  • Statistics involves collecting and analyzing numerical data.
  • Mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) are used.

Statistical Methodologies (Descriptive Statistics)

  • Descriptive statistics summarize data features (mean, median, mode, standard deviation).
  • This method describes data placement within a dataset, and the distribution or extent of data, and potential correlations/regressions among variables.
  • Descriptive statistics do not describe the population.

Statistical Methodologies (Inferential Statistics)

  • Inferential statistics focuses on drawing conclusions, generalizing, and predicting from samples.
  • It aims to understand features of a larger population using a sample.
  • Inferential statistics use complex mathematical calculations and hypotheses testing.

Types of Statistical Data Analysis

  • Univariate analysis examines single variables.
  • Bivariate analysis investigates relationships between two variables (independent and dependent).
  • Multivariate analysis explores relationships between multiple variables.

Statistical Methods of Bivariate Analysis (Correlation/Covariation)

  • Correlation describes and measures the strength/significance of a linear relationship between two variables.
  • Covariation is a statistical term measuring relationships between random variables.

Statistical Methods of Bivariate Analysis (Cross-Tabulation)

  • Cross-tabulation (crosstab/contingency table) is a matrix displaying frequency and percentage distributions.
  • It shows the relationship between two variables and the effect one has on the other.
