This presentation is a part of a series of lessons on the Analysis of Categorical Data. This lecture overs the following: odds ratio, dependent proportion, marginal homogeneity, McNemar's Test, marginal homogeneity for greater than 2 levels, measures of agreement, and the kappa coefficient (weighted vs. unweighted).
This presentation is a part of a series of lessons on the Analysis of Categorical Data. This lecture covers the following: sparse tables, sampling zeros, structural zeros, and log-linear model (and limitations).
This presentation is a part of a series of lessons on the Analysis of Categorical Data. This lecture covers the following: partial/conditional tables, confounding, types of independence (mutual, joint, marginal, and conditional), identifiability constraints, partial odds ratios, hierarchical log-linear model, pairwise interaction log-linear model, conditional independence log-linear model, goodness of fit, and model building.
This presentation is a part of a series of lessons on the Analysis of Categorical Data. This lecture covers the following: maximum likelihood estimation for logistic regression, sample size requirements for approximate normality of the MLE’s, confidence intervals, likelihood ratio statistic, score test statistic, deviance, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit statistic, the Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic, parameter estimates, scaled/unscaled estimates, residuals, grouped binomials, and model building strategies.
This presentation is a part of a series of lessons on the Analysis of Categorical Data. This lecture covers the following: Mantel-Haenszel estimator of common odds ratio, confounding in logistic regression, univariate/multivariate analysis, bias vs. variance, and simulations.
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of human disease and health outcomes, and the application of methods to improve human health. This course examines the methods used in epidemiologic research, including the design of epidemiologic studies and the collection and analysis of epidemiological data. Perfect for students and teachers wanting to learn/acquire materials for this topic.
A song for use in helping students explore Simpson’s paradox and recognize how a third variable might drive the relationship between two others. Lyrics & Music © 2016 Monty Harper.This song is part of an NSF-funded library of interactive songs that involved students creating responses to prompts that are then included in the lyrics (see www.causeweb.org/smiles for the interactive version of the song, a short reading covering the topic, and an assessment item).
Tetrad is a program which creates, simulates data from, estimates, tests, predicts with, and searches for causal and statistical models. The aim of the program is to provide sophisticated methods in a friendly interface requiring very little statistical sophistication of the user and no programming knowledge. It is not intended to replace flexible statistical programming systems such as Matlab, Splus or R. Tetrad is freeware that performs many of the functions in commercial programs such as Netica, Hugin, LISREL, EQS and other programs, and many discovery functions these commercial programs do not perform.
This site offers separate webpages about statistical topics relevant to those studying psychology such as research design, representing data with graphs, hypothesis testing, and many more elementary statistics concepts. Homework problems are provided for each section.
Which is more robust against outliers: mean or median? This app demonstrates the (in)stability of these descriptive statistics as the value of an outlier and the number of data points change.
