Alternative to the t-test When Data Are Not Normally Distributed
The t-test is one of the most popular methods for comparing the means of two sample groups. In practice, the t-test can be used for two paired sample groups or two independent sample groups. We can perform this difference test using a paired-samples t-test or an independent-samples t-test, depending on the characteristics of the data being analyzed.
Tutorial on Tabulating Likert Scale Data for Social Research
In social research, many researchers measure variables using the Likert scale. Have you ever conducted research involving variables measured with the Likert scale? In this article, Kanda Data will discuss variables measured using the Likert scale and provide a tutorial on how to tabulate Likert scale variables.
Data Measurement Scales for Likert Scale Variables in Non-Parametric Statistics
The use of variables measured with the Likert scale is certainly familiar to us. This scale is often applied in research involving non-parametric variables.
The data that cannot be transformed using natural logarithm (Ln)
In quantitative data analysis, to ensure unbiased and consistent estimations, it’s important to meet several assumptions required in the conducted tests. However, sometimes, the test results may not meet the desired expectations.
Binary Logistic Regression Analysis in Research | Basic Theory
Regression analysis has become a staple tool among researchers. Indeed, regression analysis serves as a familiar associative test, aiming to discern the impact of one variable on another.
Understanding the Difference between Parametric and Non-Parametric Statistics
The selection of data analysis methods is an important step that researchers must prepare. The correct analytical method will obtain the proper conclusion.
