Regression Analysis • Our objective is to analyze the relationship between interval variables; • Regression analysis is used to predict the value of one variable (the dependent variable) on the basis of other variables (the independent variables). • Dependent variable: denoted Y • Independent variables: denoted X , X , , X 1 2 k 08/29/2022 Towson University - J. Jung 2 Regression Analysis • If we are interested only in determining whether a relationship exists, we may employ correlation analysis. • Regression analysis with two-variables is sometimes called simple linear regression. • Mathematical equations describing their relationships are also called models ...

HYPOTHESIS TESTS SO FAR • We’ve discussed • One-sample t-test • Dependent Sample t-tests • Independent Samples t-tests • One-Way Between Groups ANOVA • Factorial Between Groups ANOVA • One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA • Correlation • Linear Regression • What do all of these tests have in common? PARAMETRIC VS. NON-PARAMETRIC • Parametric Tests – Statistical tests that involve assumptions about or estimations of population parameters. • (what we’ve been learning) • E.g., normal distribution, interval/ratio level measurement, homogeneity of variance • Nonparametric Tests • Also known as distribution-free tests • Statistical tests that do not rely ...
