46 The basic analysis using SPSS

47 Scopes & Limitations of Data Analysis Collection Organization Presentation Analysis Reporting If the data were collected from a random sample drawn from a well-defined population in such a way that every unit in the population has a known non-zero probability of being included in the sample, then the information derived from such sample can be generalized to the population (inferential statistics). If the data were collected from a non-random sample, then the information derived from sample cannot be generalized (descriptive statistics). If data and variables are not properly organized in a computer, then computer software fail to provide meaningful results.

48 Condensation of Data Summarizing data in tables and graphs (stem and leaf display, line graph, bar graph, pie chart and Histogram, measure of central tendency and measure of dispersion. 1. small tables (frequency tables) 2. graphs or diagrams (histogram, bar graph, pie chart etc.) 3. summary statistics (percentage, mean, standard deviation etc.)

49 The basic analysis of SPSS that will be introduced in this class Frequencies This analysis produces frequency tables showing frequency counts and percentages of the values of individual variables. Graphical Presentation Pie chart, Bar chart, Histogram, Area chart, Line chart, Scatter plot Descriptive Statistics This analysis shows the maximum, minimum, mean, and standard deviation of the variables

50 Descriptive & Inferential Statistics Statistics Descriptive Inferential Estimation Hypothesis Testing Tabular Graphical Numerical Point Interval Parametric Non-Parametric The methods of inferential statistics are applicable when results are obtained from a random. Uncertainty always remains while generalizing results from a sample to a population. The degree of uncertainty is measured in terms of probability in inferential statistics.

51 Univariate Data Analysis Analysis of data of a single variable at a time is univariate analysis. The suitable univariate data analysis methods by scale of variables are listed below Nominal or Ordinal What type of data? Scale data 1. Prepare frequency table 2. Compute mode 3. Compute median (ordinal) 4. Draw graphs Bar diagram Pie-chart 5. Chi-square test 1. Prepare frequency table (discrete) 2. Compute mean. Median and mode 3. Compute positional statistics 4. Compute SD, range etc. 5. Draw graphs. Steam-and-leaf plot (discrete). Box-Whisker plot. Histogram (continuous). Bar diagram (discrete). 6. Z, t, F & 2 tests 7. Transform into categorical.

52 Bivariate Data Analysis Analysis of data of two variables at a time. The kinds of data analysis are listed below. Nominal Ordinal 1. Prepare two-way frequency tables 2. Compute row or column percentages 3. Draw charts and diagrams 4. Test hypotheses (chi-square test of independence) 1. Prepare two-way frequency tables Scale 2. Draw Scatter diagram 3.

67 Fundamental of Hypothesis Testing There two types of statistical inferences, Estimation and Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis Testing: A hypothesis is a claim (assumption) about one or more population parameters. Average price of a lunch in hetauda is μ = Rs 200 The population mean monthly cell phone bill of this city is: μ = Rs 125 The average number of TV sets in Homes is equal to three; μ = 2

68 It Is always about a population parameter, not about a sample statistic Sample evidence is used to assess the probability that the claim about the population parameter is true A. It starts with Null Hypothesis, H 0 H:μ 0 3 and X=2.79 We begin with the assumption that H 0 is true and any difference between the sample statistic and true population parameter is due to chance and not a real (systematic) difference. Always contains =, or sign May or may not be rejected

69 B. Next we state the Alternative Hypothesis, H 1 Is the opposite of the null hypothesis e.g., The average number of TV sets in homes is not equal to 2 ( H 1 : μ 2 ) Never contains the =, or sign May or may not be proven Is generally the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to prove. Evidence is always examined with respect to H 1, never with respect to H 0. We never accept H 0, we either reject or not reject it

70 A. Rejection Region Method: Divide the distribution into rejection and non-rejection regions Defines the unlikely values of the sample statistic if the null hypothesis is true, the critical value(s) Defines rejection region of the sampling distribution Rejection region(s) is designated by, (level of significance) Typical values are.01,.05, or.10 is selected by the researcher at the beginning provides the critical value(s) of the test

71 Rejection Region or Critical Value Approach: Level of significance = H 0 : μ = 12 H 1 : μ 12 a/2 Non-rejection region a /2 Represents critical value H 0 : μ 12 H 1 : μ > 12 H 0 : μ 12 H 1 : μ < 12 Two-tail test Upper-tail test Lower-tail test a a Rejection region is shaded

72 P-Value Approach P-value=Max. Probability of (Type I Error), calculated from the sample. Given the sample information what is the size of blue are? H 0 : μ = 12 H 1 : μ 12 Two-tail test 0 H 0 : μ 12 H 1 : μ > 12 Upper-tail test 0 H 0 : μ 12 H 1 : μ < 12 0

73 Type I and II Errors: The size of, the rejection region, affects the risk of making different types of incorrect decisions. Type I Error Rejecting a true null hypothesis when it should NOT be rejected Considered a serious type of error The probability of Type I Error is It is also called level of significance of the test Type II Error Fail to reject a false null hypothesis that should have been rejected The probability of Type II Error is β

74 Two types of decision errors: Type I error = erroneous rejection of true H 0 Type II error = erroneous retention of false H 0 Truth Decision H 0 true H 0 false Retain H 0 Correct retention Type II error Reject H 0 Type I error Correct rejection α probability of a Type I error β Probability of a Type II error

75 P-Value approach to Hypothesis Testing: That is to say that P-value is the smallest value of for which H 0 can be rejected based on the sample information Convert Sample Statistic (e.g., sample mean) to Test Statistic (e.g., Z statistic ) Obtain the p-value from a table or computer Compare the p-value with If p-value <, reject H 0 If p-value, do not reject H 0

76 P-value (Observed Significance Level) P-value - Measure of the strength of evidence the sample data provides against the null hypothesis: P(Evidence This strong or stronger against H 0 H 0 is true) P val : p P( Z zobs)

77 Test of Hypothesis for the Mean σ known The test statistic is: σ Unknown The test statistic is: Z X μ σ n t n-1 X μ S n

78 Steps to Hypothesis Testing 1. State the H 0 and H 1 clearly 2. Identify the test statistic (two-tail, one-tail, and type of test to be used) 3. Depending on the type of risk you are willing to take, specify the level of significance, 4. Find the decision rule, critical values, and rejection regions. If CV<actual value (sample statistic) <+CV, then do not reject the H 0 5. Collect the data and do the calculation for the actual values of the test statistic from the sample

79 Steps to Hypothesis testing, continued Make statistical decision Do not Reject H 0 Reject H 0 Conclude H 0 may be true Conclude H 1 is true (There is sufficient evidence of H1) Make management/business/admi nistrative decision

80 When do we use a two-tail test? when do we use a one-tail test? The answer depends on the question you are trying to answer. A two-tail is used when the researcher has no idea which direction the study will go, interested in both direction. (example: testing a new technique, a new product, a new theory and we don t know the direction) A new machine is producing 12 fluid once can of soft drink. The quality control manager is concern with cans containing too much or too little. Then, the test is a two-tailed test. That is the two rejection regions in tails is most likely (higher probability) to provide evidence of H 1. H H 1 0 : 12 oz : 12 oz 12

81 One-tail test is used when the researcher is interested in the direction. Example: The soft-drink company puts a label on cans claiming they contain 12 oz. A consumer advocate desires to test this statement. She would assume that each can contains at least 12 oz and tries to find evidence to the contrary. That is, she examines the evidence for less than 12 0z. What tail of the distribution is the most logical (higher probability) to find that evidence? The only way to reject the claim is to get evidence of less than 12 oz, left tail. H H 1 0 : 12 oz : 12 oz

82 Type of Hypothesis What to test Significance of means Single mean test Double mean test Dependent pairs Independent pairs More than two mean test

83 Correlation and Regression

84 How do we measure association between two variables? 1. For ordinal and nominal variable Odds Ratio (OR) Chi square test of independence of attributes 2. For scale variables Correlation Coefficient R Coefficient of Determination (R-Square)

85 Example A researcher believes that there is a linear relationship between BMI (Kg/m 2 ) of pregnant mothers and the birth-weight (BW in Kg) of their newborn The following data set provide information on 15 pregnant mothers who were contacted for this study

86 BMI (Kg/m 2 ) Birth-weight (Kg)

87 Scatter Diagram Scatter diagram is a graphical method to display the relationship between two variables Scatter diagram plots pairs of bivariate observations (x, y) on the X-Y plane Y is called the dependent variable X is called an independent variable

88 Scatter diagram of BMI and Birthweight

89 Is there a linear relationship between BMI and BW? Scatter diagrams are important for initial exploration of the relationship between two quantitative variables In the above example, we may wish to summarize this relationship by a straight line drawn through the scatter of points

90 Simple Linear Regression Although we could fit a line "by eye" e.g. using a transparent ruler, this would be a subjective approach and therefore unsatisfactory. An objective, and therefore better, way of determining the position of a straight line is to use the method of least squares. Using this method, we choose a line such that the sum of squares of vertical distances of all points from the line is minimized.

91 Least-squares or regression line These vertical distances, i.e., the distance between y values and their corresponding estimated values on the line are called residuals The line which fits the best is called the regression line or, sometimes, the leastsquares line The line always passes through the point defined by the mean of Y and the mean of X

92 Linear Regression Model The method of least-squares is available in most of the statistical packages (and also on some calculators) and is usually referred to as linear regression Y is also known as an outcome variable X is also called as a predictor

93 Estimated Regression Line y ˆ = ˆ + ˆ x = x ˆ is. called. y int ercept ˆ is. called. the. slope

94 Application of Regression Line This equation allows you to estimate BW of other newborns when the BMI is given. e.g., for a mother who has BMI=40, i.e. X = 40 we predict BW to be y ˆ = ˆ ˆ + x = (40) 3.096

95 Correlation Coefficient, R R is a measure of strength of the linear association between two variables, x and y. Most statistical packages and some hand calculators can calculate R For the data in our Example R=0.94 R has some unique characteristics

96 Correlation Coefficient, R R takes values between -1 and +1 R=0 represents no linear relationship between the two variables R>0 implies a direct linear relationship R<0 implies an inverse linear relationship The closer R comes to either +1 or -1, the stronger is the linear relationship

97 Coefficient of Determination R 2 is another important measure of linear association between x and y (0 R 2 1) R 2 measures the proportion of the total variation in y which is explained by x For example r 2 = , indicates that 87.51% of the variation in BW is explained by the independent variable x (BMI).

98 Difference between Correlation and Regression Correlation Coefficient, R, measures the strength of bivariate association The regression line is a prediction equation that estimates the values of y for any given x

99 Limitations of the correlation coefficient Though R measures how closely the two variables approximate a straight line, it does not validly measures the strength of nonlinear relationship When the sample size, n, is small we also have to be careful with the reliability of the correlation Outliers could have a marked effect on R Causal Linear Relationship
