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

This is an in-text citations of authors we used in discussing RRL

Citation

Citation comprises of

Reference/Bibliography

In this type of citation, there is use of direct quotation from an original source, give the author(s) credit for her/his/their words as follows

Direct quotation

We should include this in the direct quotation to enable the readers to find it

Page numbers

This type of citation means translating the thought into your own words from the source, then give the author(s) credit for their ideas

Paraphrase

T/F paraphrase can be put in the beginning only

F - can be in the beginning or in the end

In this type of citation, you refer to a personal communication (e.g email message, or conversation) that is not available to your readers

Personal Communication

In this type of citation, you refer to a primary source you read about in a secondary source

Prima and secondary source

In this type of citation, you refer to an online source

Online source

N.D means?

No date

This is used between authors when their names are within parentheses

Ampersand (e.g (Smith & Jones, 1999)

This is used when the author(s) name are not within parentheses

Regular And (e.g Smith and Jones (1999))

If the sources does not have a date, replace the date in the citation with?

N.D

Purpose of reference
