    Study Notes

    Biometric Lecture Notes: ANOVA, Correlation, Regression

    • Course Code: FC20103
    • Topics: Hypothesis and Analysis, Correlation and Regression

    Hypothesis and Analysis

    • Hypothesis Testing: A method to test a claim about a population parameter using sample data.

    • Four Steps: State the hypothesis, set criteria for decision, compute test statistic, make a decision.

    • Null Hypothesis (H₀): A statement about a population parameter assumed to be true.

    • Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): A statement contradicting the null hypothesis, indicating the parameter is less than, greater than, or not equal to the null hypothesis value.

    • Significance Level: A criterion used to judge a decision regarding the null hypothesis.

    • P-value: The probability of obtaining a sample outcome if the null hypothesis is true.

    • A p-value less than 0.05 (5%) suggests statistical significance, leading to rejection of the null hypothesis.

    • Otherwise, the null hypothesis is retained.

    • Type I Error: Rejecting a true null hypothesis.

    • Type II Error: Retaining a false null hypothesis.

    • Standard Error: Measures variability of sample means from the population mean, reflecting the accuracy of estimates from sample data.

    • Importance: Standard error is essential to assess reliability of sample data in estimating population means. Consider sample size and data spread within samples to estimate standard error.

    Correlation and Regression

    • Correlation: A single number describing the degree and direction of relationship between two variables (e.g., positive or negative linear trend).
    • Scatter Diagram: A graphical representation of the relationship between two variables, visualized as a collection of dots.
    • A positive slope suggests a positive correlation; a negative slope suggests a negative correlation.
    • Sample Correlation Coefficient (r): A unitless measure from -1 to +1 indicating the strength and direction of a linear relationship.
    • r = 1 implies perfect positive correlation; r = -1 implies perfect negative correlation; r = 0 implies no linear correlation.
    • Linear Correlation Coefficient (Pearson's): A statistical measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two continuous variables.
    • It quantifies the relationship between variables using a single number.
    • Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient: A non-parametric measure of the degree of association between two ranked variables.
    • Regression: A statistical approach for assessing the association between variables to uncover the relationship.
    • Linear Regression: Aims to fit a straight line to data points to model the relationship between a dependent and independent variable, based on the trend.
    • Curvilinear Regression: Extends linear regression to modeling curves of nonlinear relationships between variables.
    • Includes polynomial regression (e.g., quadratic, cubic, quartic) fitting different curve shapes instead of a line.
