This document provides an overview of basic statistical concepts including:
- Types of data such as nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales of measurement.
- Descriptive statistics like frequency distributions, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), and measures of variability (range, variance, standard deviation).
- Inferential statistics concepts including population parameters, sample statistics, null hypotheses, types of statistical errors, and common statistical tests like t-tests, F-tests, chi-square tests, and correlation.
- Key considerations in statistical analysis like practical versus statistical significance and biases in published literature.
This document provides an introduction to concepts in biostatistics and hypothesis testing. It outlines the objectives of learning about study design, types of data, hypothesis testing, p-values, and choosing appropriate statistical tests. It also describes office hours, topics beyond the scope of the class, and objectives for learning about stages of research studies, hypothesis tests, t-tests, and Wilcoxon tests.
This document provides an overview of categorical data analysis techniques. It discusses chi-square tests for independence and their limitations in describing association strength. Better measures include comparing proportions, calculating odds ratios, and examining concordant/discordant pairs. Larger sample sizes can make weak associations appear statistically significant with chi-square tests, so other measures are preferable. The document also covers logistic regression and residual analysis for categorical data.
A 2016 Election Post-Mortem: The ABC News/Washington Post Tracking PollLangerResearch
This document summarizes the findings of a post-mortem analysis of the 2016 ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll conducted after Donald Trump's unexpected election victory. The analysis found the final poll estimate of Hillary Clinton leading by 4 points was accurate based on the poll's historical average error of 2 points. While some state polls underestimated Trump support, the national poll found no evidence of "shy" Trump voters or other issues. Overall, the national popular vote estimate was sound despite missing Trump's electoral college victory.

CHAPTER 11Section 11.1 Nominal Data
When there was an important development in statistical analysis in the early part of the 20th century, more often than not Karl Pearson was associated with it. Many of those
who made important contributions were members of the department that Pearson founded
at University College London. William Sealy Gosset, who developed the t-tests; Ronald A.
Fisher, who developed analysis of variance; and Charles Spearman, who developed factor
analysis, all gravitated to Pearson’s department at some point. Although social relations
among these men were not always harmonious, they were enormously productive schol-
ars, and this was particularly true of Pearson. Besides the correlation coefficient named for
him, Pearson also developed an analytical approach related to Spearman’s factor analysis
called principal components analysis, and he developed the procedures that are the sub-
jects of this chapter, the chi-square tests. The Greek letter chi (x) is pronounced “kie” like
“pie.” Chi is the equivalent of the letter c, rather than the letter x, which it resembles.
11.1 Nominal Data
With the exception of Spearman’s rho in Chapter 9, the attention in Chapters 1 through 10 has been directed at procedures designed for interval or ratio data. Sometimes
the data is not interval scale, nor is it the ordinal-scale data that Spearman’s rho accom-
modates. When the data is nominal scale, often one of the chi-square (x2) tests is used.
It will be helpful to review what makes data nominal scale. Nominal data either fits into a
category or it does not, which is why nominal data is sometimes called categorical or clas-
sification data. Because the analysis is based on counting the data, it is also called count or
frequency data. Compared to ratio, interva ...
The document discusses various techniques for quantitative data analysis, including descriptive analysis, exploratory analysis, and statistical analysis. Descriptive analysis involves frequency tables, charts, and summary statistics to describe individual and groups of variables. Exploratory analysis examines relationships between two or more variables using cross-tabulations and correlations. Statistical analysis tests for significant relationships using techniques like chi-squared tests, t-tests, and regression analysis. The remainder of the document provides examples and explanations of these analytical methods.
An independent samples t-test was conducted to compare perceptions of democracy in North Africa and Southern Africa using data from the 2015 Afrobarometer survey. The test revealed a statistically significant difference in perceptions between the two regions, with North African citizens reporting lower average levels of perceived democracy (M=4.44, SD=2.31) than Southern African citizens (M=5.31, SD=2.12), t(1083)=-6.36, p<0.001. This suggests that recent social movements in North Africa may have negatively impacted perceptions of democracy in that region relative to Southern Africa.

This document describes using dummy predictor variables in multiple regression analysis. It provides an example using hypothetical data on faculty salaries. Key points:
- Dummy variables allow inclusion of categorical predictors like gender or political party in regression by coding them numerically.
- For k categories, k-1 dummy variables are needed. This example uses gender (coded 0,1) and college (coded 1,2,3) as predictors.
- Regression and ANOVA provide equivalent information about differences in mean salaries for gender and across colleges. Dummy variable regression tests are equivalent to ANOVA comparisons.
- The document screens the salary data for violations of regression assumptions like normality before running analyses.
Vergoulas Choosing the appropriate statistical test (2019 Hippokratia journal)Vaggelis Vergoulas
This document provides a step-by-step guide for choosing the appropriate statistical test for data analysis. It outlines 7 key steps: 1) determining if the analysis is univariate or multivariable, 2) identifying if the study examines differences or correlations, 3) determining if the data is paired or independent, 4) characterizing the type of outcome variable, 5) assessing the normality of distribution for continuous variables, 6) identifying the number of groups for independent variables, and 7) selecting valid statistical tests that match the characteristics identified in the previous steps, such as t-tests, ANOVA, regression analyses. Examples of applying this process are provided.
This document discusses statistical significance, power, and effect size in response to a reexamination of reviewer bias. It argues that the power of the bogus study used in the original research was sufficient to detect typical effect sizes found in published research in the Journal of Counseling Psychology. While the median effect size reported in another study was small, the effect size was increasing over time and would correspond to a large effect by the year the current study was conducted. Further examination of the data supports the claim that the bogus study had adequate power to detect published effect sizes.
This document discusses statistical tests for different types of data and research questions. It explains that there are parametric tests that assume a normal distribution, like the t-test, z-test, and F-tests, and non-parametric tests that don't make distribution assumptions, like chi-square, Mann-Whitney, and Wilcoxon. It provides examples of the types of data and questions each test is suited for, such as using t-tests for comparing two means, chi-square for nominal associations, and Spearman's rank for ordinal correlations. Finally, it presents a summary table outlining which statistical tests to use for different sample characteristics and levels of measurement.

Statistics: What you Need to Know
Introduction
Often, when people begin a statistics course, they worry about doing advanced mathematics or their math phobias kick in. Understanding that statistics as addressed in this course is not a math course at all is important. The only math you will do is addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In these days of computer capability, you generally don't even have to do that much, since Excel is set up to do basic statistics for you. The key elements for the student in this course is to understand the various types of statistics, what their requirements are, what they do, and how you can use and interpret the results. Referring back to the basic components of a valid research study, which statistic a researcher uses depends on several things:
The research question itself
The sample size
The type of data you have collected
The type of statistic called for by the design
All quantitative studies require a data set. Qualitative studies may use a data set or may use observations with no numerical data at all. For the purposes of the next modules, our focus will be on quantitative studies.
Types of Statistics
There are several types of statistics available to the researcher. Descriptive statistics provide a basic description of the data set. This includes the measures of central tendency: means, medians, and modes, and the measures of dispersion, including variances and standard deviations. Descriptive statistics also include the sample size, or "N", and the frequency with which each data point occurs in the data set.
Inferential statistics allow the researcher to make predictions, estimations, and generalizations about the data set, the sample, and the population from which the sample was drawn. They allow you to draw inferences, generalizations, and possibilities regarding the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable to indicate how those inferences answer the research question. Researchers can make predictions and estimations about how the results will fit the overall population. Statistics can also be described in terms of the types of data they can analyze. Non-parametric statistics can be used with nominal or ordinal data, while parametric statistics can be used with interval and ratio data types.
Types of Data
There are four types of data that a researcher may collect.
Nominal Data Sets
The Nominal data set includes simple classifications of data into categories which are all of equal weight and value. Examples of categories that are equal to each other include gender (male, female), state of birth (Arizona, Wyoming, etc.), membership in a group (yes, no). Each of these categories is equivalent to the other, without value judgments.
Ordinal Data Sets
Ordinal data sets also have data classified into categories, but these categories have some form or order or ranking attached, often of some sort of value / val.

The document discusses the steps involved in conducting a statistical investigation to test a claim:
1) State the specific, measurable, and comparable claim and identify an appropriate benchmark
2) Collect relevant data from the population or a representative sample
3) Calculate appropriate statistical values from the data
4) Run statistical tests to determine whether to accept or reject the initial claim
It also provides definitions and classifications that are important for statistical analysis, such as the differences between populations and samples, parameters and statistics, and nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio data types.

This document provides an overview of different statistical tests used in epidemiological studies and their applications. It discusses topics such as data types (quantitative, categorical), variables, statistics, null and alternative hypotheses, errors in significance testing, and choices between parametric and nonparametric tests. The key information provided includes classifications of variable types, definitions of common statistics, explanations of hypotheses testing and p-values, and guidance on selecting appropriate tests based on the scale and distribution of the data.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on statistical hypothesis testing using the t-test. It discusses what a t-test is, how to perform a t-test, and provides an example of a t-test comparing spelling test scores of two groups that received different teaching strategies. The document outlines the six steps for conducting statistical hypothesis testing using a t-test: 1) stating the hypotheses, 2) choosing the significance level, 3) determining the critical values, 4) calculating the test statistic, 5) comparing the test statistic to the critical values, and 6) writing a conclusion.
Impact of Race and Ethnicity on Preemployment Psychological Assessmenthtmleffew
A review of Brower Psychological Services' evaluation practices from 2018-2022 found:
1) No violations of adverse impact standards or statistically significant correlations between race/ethnicity and pass rates when looking at all agencies served in aggregate.
2) No adverse impact violations for the Aurora Police Department in any year, though 2021 first-stage evaluations showed a possible significant relationship between race and pass rates.
3) Additional analyses suggest the 2021 Aurora PD results were likely due to an undisclosed special recruiting program, not inherent bias in evaluation practices. Uniform processes across time and agencies were observed.
This document discusses important concepts for screening data, including detecting and handling errors, missing data, outliers, and ensuring assumptions of analyses are met. It describes why data screening is important to obtain accurate results and avoid bias. Key topics covered include identifying patterns of missing data, different types of missing data (MCAR, MAR, MNAR), and various methods for treating missing values. Outliers are defined and their impact explained. Common transformations are presented to achieve normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity. Checklists are provided for conducting data screening.
The document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 1 of the textbook "Elementary Statistics" including:
- The difference between a population and a sample, and how statistics uses samples to make inferences about populations.
- The different types of data: quantitative, categorical, discrete vs. continuous data.
- The different levels of measurement for data: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
- The importance of critical thinking when analyzing data and statistics, including considering context, sources, sampling methods, and avoiding misleading graphs, samples, conclusions, or survey questions.
This document provides an overview of key concepts from Chapter 1 of the textbook "Elementary Statistics". It defines important statistical terms like population, sample, parameter, and statistic. It also distinguishes between different types of data and levels of measurement. Additionally, it discusses the importance of collecting sample data through appropriate random sampling methods. Critical thinking in statistics is emphasized, highlighting factors like the context, source, and sampling method of data when evaluating statistical claims. Different ways of collecting data through studies and experiments are also introduced.

It provides examples of the types of data and questions each test is suited for, such as using t-tests for comparing two means, chi-square for nominal associations, and Spearman's rank for ordinal correlations. Finally, it presents a summary table outlining which statistical tests to use for different sample characteristics and levels of measurement.

Statistics: What you Need to Know
Introduction
Often, when people begin a statistics course, they worry about doing advanced mathematics or their math phobias kick in. Understanding that statistics as addressed in this course is not a math course at all is important. The only math you will do is addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In these days of computer capability, you generally don't even have to do that much, since Excel is set up to do basic statistics for you. The key elements for the student in this course is to understand the various types of statistics, what their requirements are, what they do, and how you can use and interpret the results. Referring back to the basic components of a valid research study, which statistic a researcher uses depends on several things:
The research question itself
The sample size
The type of data you have collected
The type of statistic called for by the design
All quantitative studies require a data set. Qualitative studies may use a data set or may use observations with no numerical data at all. For the purposes of the next modules, our focus will be on quantitative studies.
Types of Statistics
There are several types of statistics available to the researcher. Descriptive statistics provide a basic description of the data set. This includes the measures of central tendency: means, medians, and modes, and the measures of dispersion, including variances and standard deviations. Descriptive statistics also include the sample size, or "N", and the frequency with which each data point occurs in the data set.
Inferential statistics allow the researcher to make predictions, estimations, and generalizations about the data set, the sample, and the population from which the sample was drawn. They allow you to draw inferences, generalizations, and possibilities regarding the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable to indicate how those inferences answer the research question. Researchers can make predictions and estimations about how the results will fit the overall population. Statistics can also be described in terms of the types of data they can analyze. Non-parametric statistics can be used with nominal or ordinal data, while parametric statistics can be used with interval and ratio data types.
Types of Data
There are four types of data that a researcher may collect.
Nominal Data Sets
The Nominal data set includes simple classifications of data into categories which are all of equal weight and value. Examples of categories that are equal to each other include gender (male, female), state of birth (Arizona, Wyoming, etc.), membership in a group (yes, no). Each of these categories is equivalent to the other, without value judgments.
Ordinal Data Sets
Ordinal data sets also have data classified into categories, but these categories have some form or order or ranking attached, often of some sort of value / val.

The document discusses the steps involved in conducting a statistical investigation to test a claim:
1) State the specific, measurable, and comparable claim and identify an appropriate benchmark
2) Collect relevant data from the population or a representative sample
3) Calculate appropriate statistical values from the data
4) Run statistical tests to determine whether to accept or reject the initial claim
It also provides definitions and classifications that are important for statistical analysis, such as the differences between populations and samples, parameters and statistics, and nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio data types.
Overview of different statistical tests used in epidemiologicalshefali jain
This document provides an overview of different statistical tests used in epidemiological studies and their applications. It discusses topics such as data types (quantitative, categorical), variables, statistics, null and alternative hypotheses, errors in significance testing, and choices between parametric and nonparametric tests. The key information provided includes classifications of variable types, definitions of common statistics, explanations of hypotheses testing and p-values, and guidance on selecting appropriate tests based on the scale and distribution of the data.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on statistical hypothesis testing using the t-test. It discusses what a t-test is, how to perform a t-test, and provides an example of a t-test comparing spelling test scores of two groups that received different teaching strategies. The document outlines the six steps for conducting statistical hypothesis testing using a t-test: 1) stating the hypotheses, 2) choosing the significance level, 3) determining the critical values, 4) calculating the test statistic, 5) comparing the test statistic to the critical values, and 6) writing a conclusion.
Impact of Race and Ethnicity on Preemployment Psychological Assessmenthtmleffew
A review of Brower Psychological Services' evaluation practices from 2018-2022 found:
1) No violations of adverse impact standards or statistically significant correlations between race/ethnicity and pass rates when looking at all agencies served in aggregate.
2) No adverse impact violations for the Aurora Police Department in any year, though 2021 first-stage evaluations showed a possible significant relationship between race and pass rates.
3) Additional analyses suggest the 2021 Aurora PD results were likely due to an undisclosed special recruiting program, not inherent bias in evaluation practices. Uniform processes across time and agencies were observed.
This document discusses important concepts for screening data, including detecting and handling errors, missing data, outliers, and ensuring assumptions of analyses are met. It describes why data screening is important to obtain accurate results and avoid bias. Key topics covered include identifying patterns of missing data, different types of missing data (MCAR, MAR, MNAR), and various methods for treating missing values. Outliers are defined and their impact explained. Common transformations are presented to achieve normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity. Checklists are provided for conducting data screening.
The document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 1 of the textbook "Elementary Statistics" including:
- The difference between a population and a sample, and how statistics uses samples to make inferences about populations.
- The different types of data: quantitative, categorical, discrete vs. continuous data.
- The different levels of measurement for data: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
- The importance of critical thinking when analyzing data and statistics, including considering context, sources, sampling methods, and avoiding misleading graphs, samples, conclusions, or survey questions.
This document provides an overview of key concepts from Chapter 1 of the textbook "Elementary Statistics". It defines important statistical terms like population, sample, parameter, and statistic. It also distinguishes between different types of data and levels of measurement. Additionally, it discusses the importance of collecting sample data through appropriate random sampling methods. Critical thinking in statistics is emphasized, highlighting factors like the context, source, and sampling method of data when evaluating statistical claims. Different ways of collecting data through studies and experiments are also introduced.
ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

than the difference between
the groups
17. ANOVA needs an hypothesis
Null hypothesis: the treatment has no impact
F = the treatment variance + the random variance
the random variance
18. What you’re looking for:
The F statistic is between 0 and 1 (if it’s negative, you’ve
made a mistake)
If F > F crit, you must reject the null hypothesis (treatment had an impact)
If F < F crit, you can’t rule out the null hypothesis
The p value
If the p value is less than alpha (.05) then the result is significant (it matters)
If the p value is greater than alpha, the results are not significant
20. What you still don’t know
What accounts for the difference?
For that you need a t-test, regression or other tool.

Notes de l'éditeur
Starting at the bottom...
Heard continuous referred to as ‘infinite’ but it’s really not. Income and prices, for example, are limited to two decimal places.
Another way that may help: Continuous (measured) vs discrete (counted)
If it would take ‘forever’ to count, it’s probably continuous
Amy Poehler
Skew = body (positive or negative); kurtosis = tail
All you really need to know: is my data evenly distributed
The margin of error does not depend on the size of the population; it depends on the size of the sample.
(In astronomy, the margin of error is 4.12 light years -- the distance to Proxima Centauri)
Important: 1 in 20 observations will NOT!
Bayesian: start with a different hypothesis, 100% within curve, but may be ‘off’
ANOVA was created by an evolutionary biologist and statistician, who wanted to be able to tell if two groups were the same or different, ie were they the same species or not?
In other words, is there enough randomness within the sample, that it outweighs any variance between the samples -- and any measured difference is the result of chance?
“F” stands for Sir Reginald Fisher, who invented this
“P” stands for the probability that -- if the null hypothesis is true -- the results are ‘extreme’ (one in 500 chance of being wrong)
