  2. Chi-square Test • The chi-square test is appropriate when you have nominal independent variable(s) but only group membership (frequencies) as your raw data.

  3. Table 14.1 • Chi-square Test

  4. Chi-square Test Calculation of expected values • If the expected frequencies are based purely on chance (random model), then you can calculate them based on how many categories you have in your analysis. • E.g.: in political parties example, the probability of being in each category simply due to chance would be ¼ or 25%.

  5. Chi-square Test Calculation of expected values • Second form of expected frequencies, called a “goodness-of-fit” model. • Calculate expected frequencies based on some prior knowledge of what those values should be that are not necessarily random (the goodness-of-fit model).

  6. Table 14.2 • Chi-square Test • Expected frequencies of tongue curling based on Mendelian genetics

  7. Chi-square Test

  8. Chi-square Test • Table of critical values for χ2 (Table G back of text book). • Critical values based on the degrees of freedom (k – 1) and α, where k is the number of categories. • Evaluations of χ2 obtained are always nondirectional.

  9. Results of Chi-square test using SPSS Npar Tests Chi-square Test Party Test Statistics a. 0 cells (.0%) have expected frequencies less than 5. The minimum expected cell frequency is 28.0

  10. Test of Independence Between Two Variables: Contingency Table Analysis • Null hypothesis (Ho): Factor A is not related to Factor B. • Alternative hypothesis (HA): Factor A and Factor B are related.

  11. Test of Independence Between Two Variables: Contingency Table Analysis • Equation for contingency table analysis is the same one as chi-square, except that the feand the dfare calculated differently for this analysis.To calculate fe: • Fordf: (r-1)(c-1) where r is # rows and c is # columns

  12. Assumptions for Chi-square and Contingency Table 1. Each subject has only one entry, and the categories are mutually exclusive. 2. In chi-square designs that are larger than 2 × 2, the expected frequency in each cell must be at least five.

  13. Other Non-parametric Tests Table 14-3 - Non-parametric equivalents of popular parametric tests

  14. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (T) Calculation Steps 1. Calculate the differences between the two conditions (e.g., before vs. after). This is your difference score. 2. Rank the absolute values of the difference scores from the smallest to the largest. If there are ties on the ranked scores, then you should take an average rank, but do not reuse ranks.

  15. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (T) Calculation Steps 3. Assign the sign of the original difference score to the rank. 4. Sum all of the positive ranks together and then separately sum the negative ranks. Calculate the absolute value of the summed ranks for each group.

  16. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (T) Calculation Steps 5. The smaller of the summed ranks becomes the T-obtained value. 6. Evaluate with the Wilcoxon table. • Note: Reject if Tobt < Tcrit .

  18. Mann-Whitney U test • The Mann-Whitney U test is appropriate when you have an independent (or between-groups) design with two groups (e.g., experimental vs. control groups). • This test is designed to evaluate the separation between the groups.

  19. Mann-Whitney U test Calculation Steps 1. Place scores in rank order and rank scores from both samples regardless of experimental condition. Handle tie scores by assigning the average rank as you did with the Wilcoxon test. 2. Sum the ranks separately by experimental group (R1 and R2).

  20. Mann-Whitney U test Calculation Steps 3. Calculate two U-obtained values by using the following equations: The smaller value becomes the true U-obtained value while the larger value is referred to as the U′ (prime) obtained value.

  21. Mann-Whitney U test Calculation Steps 4. Evaluate the U obtained value using the Mann-Whitney table and reject the null hypothesis if Uobt<Ucrit.

  22. Assumptions: Mann-Whitney U test 1. The dependent variable must be measured in at least the ordinal scale, but interval or ratio data can be “collapsed” into ordinal data via the ranking. 2. Only appropriate when you have an independent or between groups design and two groups/conditions. 3. Random sampling is required.

  24. Kruskal-Wallis Test • The Kruskal-Wallis test is used when data are in three or more groups and is ordinal, and it replaces the one-way (independent) ANOVA when either or both of the assumptions are broken.

  25. Kruskal-Wallis Test Calculation Steps 1. Rank all scores from the smallest to the largest. 2. Sum ranks for each group (Ri).

  26. Kruskal-Wallis Test Calculation Steps 3. Calculate the H-obtained value using the following formula:

  27. Kruskal-Wallis Test Calculation Steps 4. Evaluate using chi-square table, df= k – 1, where k = # of groups, and reject the null hypothesis if and only if Hobt≥ Hcrit. 5. If the null hypothesis is rejected, pairwise combinations of Mann-Whitney U tests should be used to determine the post hoc pattern of differences among the groups.

  28. Results if you use SPSS to calculate the Kruskal Wallace test Npar Tests Kruskal-Wallace test Ranks Test Statistics a. Kruskal Wallace test b. Grouping Variable: CLASS

  29. Assumptions for the Kruskal-Wallis Test 1. The dependent variable (data) are measured on an ordinal or better scale. 2. The scores come from the same underlying distribution. 3. You must have at least five scores per group to use the chi-square table. 4. Random sampling

  30. Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation • The Spearman rank correlation test is appropriate when one or both of the variables of interest are on an ordinal scale. • This test replaces Pearson’s correlation test when the data are not collected on an interval or ratio scale but are at least ordinal.

  31. Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Calculation Steps 1. Independently rank each variable X and Y (strongest response = 1). 2. Give tied ranks an average ranking score, but then don’t reuse the ranks that you averaged. 3. Calculate the “difference in rank” scores and then square those differences.

  32. Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Calculation Steps 4. Calculate rho (rs) using the following formula: 5. Evaluate rsusing Table I in the Appendix.
