1. Lab 03 Assessment (summative) Milestones

2. Caution!!! Before you begin! When you do the lab you do not use the “Make my data button” you just use the data files highlighted on the following slide so your charts look exactly like mine!

4. You only use the “make my data button” when using the tool to make data for your final project.

5. What to hand in: The crosstab with chi square and the Logistic Regression you make from my nominal example spreadsheet The comparison of means (averages) with T- test and Linear (OLS) regression you make from my continuous example spreadsheet

6. Lets start with an example

7. Nominal Example Recidivate or Not

9. Notice how Logic Model Adapts

10. Notice how assessment data adapts

12. Do in program vs not bc recidivate is not pre post conducive

13. Do Pivot Table, put it in SPSS and make a crosstab then a logistic regression

18. Now import to SPSS and do crosstab and logistic regression

19. Spss assessment slides

34. Other than recidivate of not- What other variables might you use as a dependent variable?

40. As with recidivism, Another binary format you may notice is yes no for drug use.

43. But the following (parent involvement) is not yes no…

48. What if it is not a yes or no question? We will see there are 2 other options: 1.Recode into binary format or 2.use continuous

49. What do we do then? Since it is not nominal (binary)? Re-code – its very easy

53. To recode you: 1. copy and paste special values the column into a new column next to it 2. Find and replace all of the other variables values into one of the 2 categories you prefer 3. Then do the analysis just as you did with the nominal (pivot table and then crosstab)

61. Then go ahead and analyze it the same way, do a pivot table and a crosstab and then regression

62. But sometimes recoding like this does not make sense – when 7 or more categories

63. Lets look at the other option When there are 7 or more categories you can treat them as continuous

69. Binaries added up to an Ordinal but more like a continuous

70. Another example of a type of measure Grouping 9 or higher – refer to counseling – an instance where you might recode a continuos to binary (below 9 or 9 and above)

72. Here is another continuous scale

76. Press only once!

84. Note: it is OK if your numbers are a little different as seen in the following slides

88. Rule of Thumb If yes or no (nominal) it is binary 1 (yes) and 0 (no) If ordinal such as strongly agree to strongly disagree – recode it to binary If it has 7 or more categories can use it as continuous without recoding it to binary.
