Regression Analysis on Non-Parametric Dependent Variables: Is It Possible?
In multiple linear regression analysis, the measurement scale of the dependent variable is typically parametric. However, can multiple linear regression analysis be applied to a dependent variable measured on a nominal (non-parametric) scale?
Understanding the Differences in Using R Squared and Adjusted R Squared in Research
When you choose to use linear regression analysis, it’s essential to master and understand the interpretation of the coefficient of determination. The coefficient of determination is one of the key indicators in linear regression analysis that can be used as a metric to determine the goodness of fit of a regression model.
Benefits of Using Cross Tabulation in Descriptive Statistical Analysis
When performing descriptive statistical analysis, the primary goal is to provide a general overview of the data being studied. One highly useful tool that supports descriptive analysis is cross tabulation (crosstabs).
How to Correctly Interpret a Negative Estimation Coefficient
The goal of linear regression analysis is to understand the influence of independent variables on dependent variables. The result of linear regression analysis is the regression coefficient, which indicates the size and magnitude of the influence of independent variables on dependent variables.
Correlation Analysis on Non-Parametric Variables Measured Using Likert Scale
For researchers, correlation analysis is a familiar tool used to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. However, correlation analysis on non-parametric variables measured using the Likert scale has fundamental differences compared to correlation analysis on parametric variables.
The Difference Between Pearson Correlation and Spearman Rank Correlation in Research
For those currently conducting data analysis, correlation tests are commonly used to measure the relationship between two variables. However, not all correlation tests are suitable for every type of data. As we all know, data types and characteristics can vary.
Differences Between Paired Sample T-Tests and Independent Sample T-Tests
When we want to compare the means of two data groups, we often use a difference test. The most commonly used difference test is the t-test. In a t-test, the samples being compared can be either paired or independent.
The Difference Between Residual and Error in Statistics
In the field of statistics, the terms “residual” and “error” are often used interchangeably. Many researchers and practitioners consider these terms to have the same meaning, but in reality, they represent significantly different concepts.
