Purpose of analyzing data |
Obtain usable and useful information |
|
The analysis, irrespective of whether the data is qualitative or quantitative may: |
Describe and summarize the data Identify relationships within the variables Compare variables Identigy the difference between variables Forecast outcomes |
|
Common misconceptons in data analysis |
Analysis comes at the end after all the data are collected Quantitative analysis is the most accurate type of data analysis Data have their own mening Stating limitations to analysis weakens the evaluation Computer analysis is always easier and better |
|
Organization of data |
Organize all forms/questionnaire in one place Check for completeness and accuracy |
|
If the normative value is 120 over 80, and the results is closer to 120/80, the results is (Accurate, Precise) |
Accurate |
|
If the results are close to the normative value and the values are close to each other, accuracy and precision are described as |
High accuracy, High precision |
|
If the results are not close to the normative value but has significantly close values, the accuracy and precision will be described as |
Low accuracy, high precision |
|
Ways to know how to make the accuracy and precision higher |
Check questionnaires for uncomplete/unreliable questions Methodology - specfically the pre implementation phase |
|
Statistical data |
Demographics/Descriptibe statistics Frequency |
|
This type of statistical data simply means how many individuals checked each answer |
Frequency |
|
Frequency is determined in? |
Measurement scales |
|
Types of measurement scale |
Parametric Nonparametric |
|
This type of measurement scale has true numerical value, ratio, or interval |
Parametric |
|
This type of measurement scale has no true numerical value, nominal, or ordinal since it has descriptor |
Nonparametric |
|
This measurement scale is used for labeling variables without any quantitative value, no true numerical value, no quantitative value |
Nominal |
|
This measurement scale has the data ordered or ranked on a scale, has true numerial value, has order and rank, and has descriptor |
Ordinal |
|
This defines if you have top or least scale |
Descriptor |
|
This measurement scale is a numeric scale in which not only the order is known, but also the exact differences between value |
Interval |
|
What scale of measurement is being described: Numbers assigned to runners |
Nominal |
|
What scale of measurement is being described: rank order of winners |
Ordinal |
|
What scale of measurement is being described: performance rating on a 0 - 10 scales |
Interval |
|
What scale of measurement is being described: Time finish in |
Ratio |
|
This measurement scale allows data to be described in terms of its reltionship to a ratio, and has an absolute zero |
Ratio |
|
If you want to know the proportion of people who answered in a certain way |
Percentage |
|
This is the average core or average score |
Mean |
|
Things to consider when determining the mean |
Highly sentitive to extreme scores, which have the potential to skew the results Be sure that the average is meaningful |
|
This is the middle value in a range of values or scores |
Median |
|
This is the frequent score |
Mode |
|
This is the range of answered or scores |
Range |
|
This is the degree to which a response varies from the mean |
Standard deviation |
|
This statistics is applicable if the SOP has no correlation, difference, predictive value, or forecasting, meaning descriptive stats such as frequency, percentage, should be used |
Descriptive statistics |
|
Descriptive statistics comprises of |
Collecting Organising Summarising Presenting data |
|
This statistics is applicable if there is difference or relationship, and is used to challenge or test hypothesis |
Inferential statistics |
|
Inferential statistics comprises of |
Making inference Hypothesis testing Determining relationships Making predictions |
|
This type of correlational test look for an assocation between variables |
Correlational |
|
This type of correlational test tests for the strength of the association between 2 continuous variables, for parametric variables, and have true numerical value (with interval or ratio) |
Pearson correlation |
|
This correlational test tests for the strength of the association between 2 ordinal variables who does rely on the assumption of normal distributed data, for non parametric data, like ordinal and nominal data |
Spearman correlation |
|
This correlational test tests for the strength of the association between 2 categorical variables, for dichotomous data, to compare 2 data with 2 possible answers only |
Chi-square |
|
These tests looks for the difference between the means of variabe |
Comparison of means |
|
ANOVA means |
Analysis of variance |
|
T/F ANOVA is parametric such as interval and ratio |
T |
|
This comparison of means tests for difference between two related variable before and after in one subject |
Paired T-test |
|
This comparison of means is for two separate subjects, or difference between 2 indepedent variables |
Independent T-test |
|
This comparison of means tests the difference between group means after any other variance in the outcome variable is accounted for, used for 3 or more subjects |
ANOVA |
|
For non parametric comparisons of means tests what can we use |
Wilcoxon signed rank test Mann Whitney U test Kruskal Wallis Test Friedman tst |
|
Counterpart for paired t-test |
Wilcoxon signed rank test |
|
counterpart for independent t-test |
Mann Whitney U Test |
|
ANOVA counterpart |
Kruskal Wallis Test |
|
Counterpart for Repeated measures ANOVA |
Friedman test |
|
These tests assess if change in one variable predicts change in another variable |
Regression tests |
|
This regression test tests how change in the predictor variable predicts the level of change in the outcome variable, if the value can be predicted under variables |
Simple regression |
|
How many variables to know if 1 variable can predict 1 outcome variable |
2 |
|
This regression test tests how change in the combination of two or more predictor variable predict the level of change in the outcome variable, checks if 1 variable/combination of variable can predict 1 outcome variable |
Multiple regression |
|
Simple or multiple regression: Your grades can predict if you will pass the boards examinations |
Simple regression analysis |
|
Simple or multiple regression: Grades from 1st to 3rd years, if these can predict your grades for internship, or if it enough to pass the board examinations |
Multiple regressin |
