INFERENTIAL STATISTICS

Lesson Objectives After studying this session you would be able to Understand and infer results from data in order to answer the associational and differential research questions using different parametric and non parametric tests. understand implement and interpret the chi-square, phi and cramer’s V understand, implement and interpret the correlation statistics understand, implement and interpret the regression statistics understand, implement and interpret the T-test statistics

Lesson Outline Non parametric test. Chi square /Fisher exact Phi and cramer’s v Kendall tau-b Eta Parametric test Correlation Pearson correlation Spearman correlation Regression Simple regression Multiple regression T-Test One-sample T-test Independent sample T-test Paired sample T-test

Correlation Correlation is a statistical process that determines the mutual (reciprocal) relationship between two (or more) variables which are thought to be mutually related in a way that systematic changes in the value of one variable are accompanied by systematic changes in the other and vice versa. It is used to determine The existence of mutual relationship that is defined by the significance (p) value. The direction of relationship that is defined by the sign (+,-) of the test value The strength of relationship that is defined by the test value Correlation Coefficient (r) The correlation coefficient measures the strength of linear relationship between two or more numerical variables. The value of correlation coefficient can vary from -1.0 (a perfect negative correlation or association) through 0.0 (no correlation) to +1.0 (a perfect positive correlation). Note that +1 and -1 are equally high or strong

Assumptions and conditions for Pearson Correlation Assumptions and conditions for Pearson The two variables have a linear relationship. Scores on one variable are normally distributed for each value of the other variable and vice versa. Outliers (i.e. extreme scores) can have a big effect on the correlation.

scholastic aptitude test - math Correlation Checking the assumptions for Pearson Correlation The assumptions for correlation test are checked through normal curve (normality assumption) and the scatter plot (linearity assumption) Statistics math achievement test scholastic aptitude test - math N Valid 75 Missing Skewness .044 .128 Std. Error of Skewness .277

scholastic aptitude test - math Correlations math achievement test scholastic aptitude test - math Pearson Correlation 1 .788** Sig. (2-tailed) .000 N 75 **. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). Correlation Interpretation To investigate if there was a statistically significant association between Scholastic aptitude test and math achievement, a correlation was computed. Both the variables were approximately normal there is linear relationship between them hence fulfilling the assumptions for Pearson's correlation. Thus, the Pearson’s r is calculated, r= 0.79, p = .000 relating that there is highly significant relationship between the variables. The positive sign of the Pearson's test value shows that there is positive relationship, which means that students who have high scores in math achievement test do have high scores in scholastic aptitude test and vice versa. Using Cohen’s (1988) guidelines’ the effect size is large relating that there is strong relationship between math achievement and scholastic aptitude test.

Correlation Spearman Correlation: If the assumptions for Pearson correlation are not fulfilled then consider the Spearman correlation with the assumption that the Relationship between two variables is monotonically non linear Example: what is the association between mother’s education and math achievement

Correlation Interpretation Correlationsa mother's education math achievement test Spearman's rho Correlation Coefficient 1.000 3.15** Sig. (2-tailed) . .006 .315** **. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). Interpretation To investigate if there was a statistically significant association between mother’s education and math achievement, a correlation was computed. Mother’s education was skewed (skewness=1.13), which violated the assumption of normality. Thus, the spearman rho statistic was calculated, r, (73) = .32, p = .006. The direction of the correlation was positive, which means that students who have highly educated mothers tend to have higher math achievement test scores and vice versa. Using Cohen’s (1988) guidelines’ the effect size is medium for studies in his area. The r2 indicates that approximately 10% of the variance in math achievement test score can be predicted from mother’s education.

Types of regression analysis Regression analysis is used to measure the relationship between two or more variables. One variable is called dependent (response, or outcome) variable and the other is called Independent (explanatory or predictor) variables. Regression Equation Y = a + bx Y = a + bx1 + cx2 + dx3 + ex4 Y = dependent variable a = Constant b, c, d, e, = slope coefficients x1, x2, x3, x4 = Independent variables Types of regression analysis Simple Regression Multiple regression

REGRESSION ANALYSIS Simple Regression Simple regression is used to check the contribution of independent variable(s) in the dependent variable if the independent variable is one. Assumptions and conditions of simple regression Dependent variable should be scale The relationship of variables should be liner Data should be independent Example: Can we predict math achievement from grades in high school

Dependent Variable: math achievement test Interpretation Simple regression was conducted to investigate how well grades in highschool predict math achievement scores. The results were statistically significant F (1, 73 ) = 24.87, p<.001. The indentified equation to understand this relationship was math achievement = .40 + 2.14* (grades in high school). The adjusted R2 value was .244. This indicates that 24% of the variance in math achievement was explained by the grades in high school. According to Cohen (1988), this is a large effect. Regression equation is Y = 0.40 + 2.14X

REGRESSION ANALYSIS Multiple Regression Multiple regressions is used to check the contribution of independent variable(s) in the dependent variable if the independent variables are more than one. Assumptions and conditions of Multiple regression Dependent variables should be scale. Example: How well can you predict math achievement from a combination of four variables: grades in high school, father’s education, mother education and gender

The means, standard deviation, and inter correlations can be found in table. The combination of variables to predict math achievement from grades in high school, father’s education, mother’s education and gender was statistically significant, F = 10.40, p <0.05. The beta coefficients are presented in last table. Note that high grades and male gender significantly predict math achievement when all four variables are included. The adjusted R2 value was 0.343. This indicates that 34 % of the variance in math achievement was explained by the model according to Cohen (1988), this is a large effect.
