Term

Definition

Alpha {number}

 

number has to be below to accept null hypothesis?

 

if number above is to reject null hypothesis?

 

number compared with P - Value of Data Analysis

Term
Null Hypothesis
Definition

preposition to be tested;

the hypothesis under investigation

 

no theory

no statistical difference

 

"there's no statistical difference between mean set 1 and mean set 2."


do not use "increase" or "decrease" in terminology

Term
ANOVA
Definition

analysis difference in multiple statistics.

 

key phrase: statistic - significant - difference

 

t - Test null - hypothesis analysis of 2 data to figure out if need improvement or no improvement.

 

Ex: ANOVA Tests bike racks on campus to see if each racks show significant distance from rack to destination. If 1 rack is too far from destination, then there's needs to have readjustment of rack to make it closer to destination.

Term
Bimodal
Definition

distribution of occuring with 2 modes

 

means of # started high, but fall in middle and then high again, not good means = no # nothing in middle

Term

Step 1

Step 3

of testing

Definition

Select Test Method

 

----------

 

Ex: Paired/Unpaired t - Test

Term

Step 4

of testing

Definition
Harvest Data
Term

Step 5

of testing

Definition
Clean/ Verify Data

Step 6

of testing

Definition
Run Test
Term

Step 7

of testing

Definition
Interpret
Term

P - Value of t - Test: 0.152

 

{Terminology Example}

Definition

there are equal means from any data sets

 

Ex: Column 1 = Column 2

Term

P - Value of t - Test: 0.261

 

{Terminology Example}

Definition

We reject the null - hypothesis;

since there are no statistical signficant differences of the means between 2 data sets.

Term

P - Value of t - Test: 0.038

 

{Terminology Example}

Definition

There are still statistical differences.

 

 

Term
Paired
Definition

same place

before and after of the 2 sets

Term
Unpaired
Definition

different places

2 different groups

EX: AZ & CA

Term
one - tail
Definition
directional hypothesis looks at one end use either "increase" or "decrease"
Term
two - tail
Definition

non - directional hypothesis of any differences

between A & B

 

Term

"t - critical"

one - tail & two - tail

Definition
T - statistical measure of difference of A & B
Term

Fail to reject the null - hypothesis

 

means?...

Definition
ACCEPT the hypothesis
Term

Correlation

 

{Term Definition}

Definition
the relationshop of data
Term

Regression

 

{Term Def 1}

Definition

prediction & more details of data (extent X - axis)

 

testing for relationship NOT differences

 

----

X - input = independent

Y - input = Applicant (dependent)

Term

Multiple R

 

{Regression}

Definition
correlation [strength not slope] co-efficient between the percentage of variation between the data
Term

R Squared (Multiple R)

{Regression}

Definition

co - efficient determination

 

percentage explain by model

 

"variation is R Squared"

 

negative value

Term

Adjusted R Squared

 

{Regression}

Definition

the correlation of R squared and Adjusted R Squared

 

closer to the line the better

Term

Significant F

(Significant Factor)

 

{Regression}

Definition
Statistical significant relationship between A & B
Term

P - Value of Significant F = 3.68936 E - 06

 

{Terminology Example}

 

Definition

(higher than 0.05)

 

There is NOT statistical significant relationship between income and median house price.

 

We reject the null - hypothesis.

Term

Using "Regression" Data Analysis

 

{what to look for}

Definition
  1. P - Value NEEDS to be BELOW 0.05 of Significant F
  2. If above = no SSR = not valid = reject null
  3. If below = there IS SSR between dependent & independetn variables
  4. Terminology Example:
    • For every point goes up, the student quality goes up by 1(X-input/indepedent) as well

Note: 4.68E-15 of P - Value is very low (bad)
