Study Notes
Descriptive Analysis
- Summarizes basic findings for the sample
- Describes the typical respondent
- Outlines variability among respondents
Inference Analysis
- Determines population parameters
- Tests hypotheses
- Estimates population values
- Evaluates support or lack of support for hypothesized values
Difference Analysis
- Determines if differences exist
- Evaluates statistical significance of differences in means of two groups
- Important for comparisons
Association Analysis
- Determines connections between variables
- Determines if two variables are related
Relationships Analysis
- Finds complex relationships for variables in a dataset
- Determines how several independent variables relate to a dependent variable
- Used for complex modeling
Central Tendency
- Measures the "typical" characteristic (customer, product, brand)
- Mode: Most frequent value
- Median: Middle value in ordered data
- Mean: Average value
Variability
- Measures the diversity of respondents
- Frequency and percentage distributions: Show how often different values occur
- Range: Difference between highest and lowest value
- Standard deviation/variance: Represents the degree of variation or diversity in values
SPSS Software
- Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
- Used for data analysis and output generation.
Categorical Data Summary
- Lists frequency and percentages of each category of data
- Includes cumulative percentages
- Example presented was Dwelling Type
Continuous Data Summary
- Presents mean and standard deviation
- Useful for seeing the average and the spread of the data
Confidence Interval
- An estimate for the range of population parameter
- Confidence level: Probability the interval contains true parameter
- Confidence intervals narrow with increasing sample sizes
Calculating Confidence Intervals
- Collect sample information (size and standard deviation for continuous data or percentage distribution for categorical data)
- Calculate standard error
- Use the appropriate z-value based on the desired confidence level
- Use appropriate formulas to calculate confidence intervals (different formulas for percentages vs. means)
Hypothesis Testing
- Used to determine whether observed differences between groups are statistically significant
- Confidence intervals are helpful tools for this type of analysis
Practical Research Guidelines
- Present confidence intervals with clear labels for sample finding, lower boundary, and upper boundary
- Include sample size in the footnote for clarity
SPSS Procedures
- Analyze, Descriptive Statistics, Frequencies
- Analyze, Descriptive Statistics, Descriptives
- Helpful for outputting descriptive statistics like mean, standard deviation, and more
Consumer Attitudes Towards Global Warming Statements
- "I am worried about global warming"
- "Gasoline emissions contribute to global warming"
- "Global warming is a real threat"
SPSS for Confidence Intervals
- Analyze → Compare Means → One-Sample T Test (or One-Sample Proportions for percentages)
- Select variable in test, enter test value and select confidence interval
Different Statistical Methods
- Wald, Agresti-Caffo, Brown-Li-Jeffreys, Hauck-Anderson, Newcombe methods all used to generate confidence intervals for certain types of data. Each method has different benefits and drawbacks
