will classify what sorts of people had a better chance of survival the shipwreck. For the data analysis, I have used the dataset “Titanic_Passanger_List” that consists of 1309 observations of passenger on Titanic. “Survived” is a predictor variable that describes whether or not a person survived the accident (1 – survived, 0 – died). In this sample,…

Comparison: 7. Calculate the mean and standard deviation (by hand) for the MINITAB created binomial distribution with the probability of a success being ¾ and compare to the results from question 6. Mean = np, Standard Deviation = 8. Explain why the coin variable from the class survey represents a binomial…

is minimizes the sum of square errors. This is a fitting the curve or ordinary least square and get rid of value in order to have best fit. Ordinary least square is called the estimator. Best meaning the variance of variable is small as possible. Linear is a straight line of variable not squared. Unbiased the estimate of actual value of residual very close together…

sector and this is the reason why it is so difficult to construct financial development indicators. The aim of this chapter is to empirically investigate the possible relationship that exists between financial markets and economic growth. The variables used to determine the causality between financial development and economic growth are Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth percentage and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) which are both indicators of economic growth. Claims on private sector and…

A scatterplot groups points on a two-dimensional graph in which each dot represents a single person’s data. Any two variables can be plotted on a scatterplot. In this example, a research study in a newspaper article claims that since there is a positive correlation between taking vitamins and crime rates, vitamins cause crime. While scatterplots imply causation and people often use them to display a relationship, they cannot be used to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. The only research…

Admissions Across Teaching and Nonteaching Hospitals (2009)”. This analysis will compare and contrast the defining features of the two research studies including: the research questions; the role of the literature reviews; the independent and dependent variables; the design elements; the statistical analysis methods; and the effectiveness of the conclusions. Research Questions A research question shapes the entirety of a research study. While some research…

design (2.5 points): This study is a nonexperimental design. In a nonexperimental design, the independent variable is not manipulated, it explores relationships between variables, and there is no controlled group. Independent variable (2.5 points): The independent variable in this article is the palliative care knowledge test (PCKT). Dependent variable (2.5 points): The dependent variable is to assess the nurse’s knowledge about palliative care. Sampling technique (2.5 points): The…

Sample size is 300. The Prime Rate, High and Low, was collected from a year-to-year basis from forecast-chart.com; GDP was collected quarterly from January 1975 through December 1999. When looking for different independent variables, multiple regressions perfect. Utilizing the normal logarithmic function of the initial information normalized all factors. Turned out to help produce a more accurate answer when using the regression. The exact data for this formula is: Avg. New…

Theoretical Framework The Proportional Odds Model A binary logistic regression model estimates the odds and the probability of experiencing an event for the dichotomous outcome variable on a set of predictors. The logistic regression model is defined as: ln(Y′) = logit [π(x)] = ln = α + β1X1 + β2X2 + …+ βpXp. (1) where logit [π(x)] is the log odds of success, and the odds is a ratio between the probability of having an event and the probability of not having that event.…

Multicollinearity is a state of very high intercorrelations or inter-associations among the independent variables. It is therefore a type of disturbance in the data, and if present in the data the statistical inferences made about the data may not be reliable. It is caused by an inaccurate use of dummy variables. According to Inequality Constraints, Multicollinearity and Models of Police Expenditure, “Using a dummy variable to indicate accessibility and development results in high degree of…
