Research Methodology Module XI

This document discusses various statistical analysis techniques including measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), measures of dispersion (range, standard deviation), and correlation/regression. It defines univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis involving 1, 2, or more than 2 variables. Formulas are provided for calculating mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation for both ungrouped and grouped data. Correlation coefficients range from -1 to 1 indicating strong, moderate, or weak negative, no, or positive correlation between two variables.

Module XI : Data Analysis

To do:
- Measures of Central Tendency (Mean, Median, Mode)
- Measures of dispersion, range, and standard deviation
- Concept of Correlation and Regression

Univariate, Bivariate and Multivariate Analysis


Univariate – 1 Variable
Bivariate – 2 Variable
Multivariate – More than 2 variables

FORMULA
I) Measures Of Central Tendency
Central tendency is the middle point of a distribution
a. Mean
Average = Total / No. Of Participants
Ungrouped Grouped
εx
X= εfx f - frequency
n X=
εf m - midpoint
b. Median (Descriptive - Ordinal)
Interval Ratio of effective value

Median is the middle value of a series in ascending / descending order

Ungrouped Grouped

[ ]
n = odd ( n+1) (n+ 1)
Median= −(f +1)
2 2
n n
Median= w+ Lm
( )+( + 1) fm
n = even 2 2
Median=
n - total number of items 2

f - sum of all frequencies up to but not including the median class


f m - frequency of median class
w - class interval width
Lm- lower unit of median class interval

c. Mode (Descriptive - Non Ordinal)


Mode is the value with the max frequency
Grouped

Mode=L+
[ f 1 −f 0
2 f 1−f 0−f 2
L - lower frequency limit of the middle class
]×h

f 1 - frequency of modal class


f 0 - frequency of class before modal class
f 2 - frequency of class after modal class
h - class interval of the modal class

Measures Of Dispersion
The degree to which the numerical data tend to spread about around the average value is
called dispersion

Mode, Median – Range


Mean (likert) – Standard Deviation

Range
Ungrouped
Range = Maximum Value – Minimum Value

Standard Deviation
Ungrouped Grouped

√ √
2
ε ( x−x )
2 ε f ( x−x )
σ= σ=
n εf

σ – standard deviation
x – each value in data set
x – mean of all values in data set
n – number of values in data set

Correlation / Regression
Coefficient range from -1 to +1

strong moderate weak moderate strong

-1 -0.75 -0.25 0 0.25 0.75 1

Negative No Positive
