2. Fundamental types of research questions Relationships among variables Differences among groups Predicting group membership Latent structure underlying set of measures

3. Relationships among variables Bivariate r (correlation & simple linear regression) Multiple R (multiple regression) Sequential R (multiple regression with entry in blocks) Canonical R

4. Differences among groups One-way ANOVA (includes t-test) One-way ANCOVA Factorial ANOVA/ANCOVA One-way/Factorial MANOVA/MANCOVA Cohen writes about how all of these analyses can be conceptualized as regression problems

5. Predicting group membership One-way Discriminant Function Analysis Sequential Discriminant Function Analysis Logit (Multiway frequency analysis) Logistic Regression Sequential Logistic Regression

6. Latent structure underlying set of measures Principal components analysis Factor analysis Structural equation modeling (includes confirmatory factor analysis) – provides actual test(s) of model adequacy
