HCS 542 WEEK 5
Types of Statistical Analyses Matrix Directions:
Develop a matrix that shows the uses of:
- Descriptive statistics
- the specific types of measures of central tendency
- the specific types of measures of variability
- Inferential statistics
- t-tests
- ANOVA
- regression analyses
- various correlational analyses
- chi-square
In your matrix, indicate the purpose of each test, and give a simple description/example of when you would choose each one (e.g., “when you want to know blood pressure compares between a control group and a group that gets an experimental hypertension drug”)
Be sure to indicate whether the tests
- provide information about significance of differences between groups
- provide information about significance of relationships between variables
- provide information about a single sample vs. two or more samples
- are parametric or nonparametric
Don’t forget to provide citations to your Types of Statistical Analyses Matrix source material, with a reference page at the end.
