Study Notes
Statistical Inference
- Involves using data analysis to infer properties of an underlying probability distribution.
- Crucial factors include cost-benefit analysis, client and public acceptability, ethical/legal concerns.
Probability Theory
- Describes outcomes and events expected to occur in a population over time.
- Sampling distributions help assess probabilities of outcomes arising by chance.
Hypothesis Testing
- Alternative Hypothesis (H1): Indicates a predicted significant difference or relationship.
- Null Hypothesis (H0): States no relationship exists; a neutral and objective stance in research.
- Example hypotheses relate to relationships such as NMAT scores and academic achievement.
Types of Correlation
- Pearson’s r: Assesses correlation between quantitative data; identifies positive or negative correlations.
- Spearman Rank Order Correlation: Nonparametric version suitable for ordinal or interval data.
- Steps include ranking data, calculating rank differences, and summing squared differences.
Measure of Association
- Phi Coefficient: Measures association between binary variables (dichotomous); relevant for contingency tables.
- Example analyzes the relationship between gender and pain experiences among workers.
Suggested Interpretation of Measures of Association
- Values above 0.70 indicate very strong positive relationships, while those below -0.70 indicate very strong negative relationships.
- Intermediate values suggest different strengths of association.
Kendall’s Q
- Provides insights into concordant and discordant pairs with smaller value measures than Spearman.
- Calculation formula: Kendall’s Tau = (C – D) / (C + D), where C = concordant pairs, D = discordant pairs.
T-Test
- Compares mean scores between two groups to identify statistical differences.
- Paired T-Test: Used for means of continuous variables in two non-independent groups (e.g., before and after treatment).
- Independent Sample T-Test: Compares means of two independent samples (e.g., Diabetic vs Non-diabetic blood pressure).
Chi-Square Distribution
- A non-parametric test assessing relationships between categorical variables.
- Evaluates whether observed frequencies differ from expected frequencies using a Chi-square statistic.
- Interpretation based on p-value: If p < 0.05, the frequencies differ significantly; if p > 0.05, they do not.
Important Notes on Chi-Square Test Interpretation
- A higher chi-square statistic indicates poor fit between observed and expected data; lower indicates a good fit.
- It requires nominal data and is commonly presented in a 2x2 contingency table format for analysis.
