Planning Data

Analysis
• Prerequisite for taking
Practical Research 2 is your
Statistics and Probability
subject.
• In planning your data analysis
in quantitative research, you
also need to consider your
research problem, type of
data, hypothesis, and scale
used in your research
instrument.
Data Analysis
•Data analysis in research is a process in which
gathered information are summarized in such a
manner that it will yield answers to the research
questions.
•During quantitative data analysis gathered
information were break down and ordered into
categories in order to draw trends or patterns in a
certain condition.
Data Analysis
• In quantitative research, the numerical data collected is not
taken as a whole. In order to understand it better, it is
analyze into components based on the chosen research
variables and research questions you are going to answer.
• These numerical data are usually subject to statistical
treatment depending on the nature of data and the type of
research problem presented. The statistical treatment makes
explicit the different statistical methods and formulas needed
to analyze the research data.
Planning your Data Analysis
• Descriptive Statistical Technique provides a summary of the ordered
or sequenced data from your research sample. Examples of these
tools are frequency distribution, measure of central tendencies
(mean, median, mode), and standard deviation.
• Inferential Statistics is used when the research study focuses on
finding predictions; testing hypothesis; and finding interpretations,
generalizations, and conclusions.
• Since this statistical method is more complex and has more
advanced mathematical computations, you can use computer
software to aid your analysis.
In selecting what test to use is basically done by identifying whether you will use
parametric test or non-parametric test. As these were already discussed in your
Statistics and Probability subject, a summary of what to consider is presented below:
Statistics to use
Test of Relationship between Two Variables
•➢ Pearson’s r (parametric)
•➢ Phi coefficient (non-parametric for nominal
and dichotomous variables)
•➢ Spearman’s rho (non-parametric for ordinal
variable)
Statistics to use
Test of Difference between Two Data Sets from
One Group
➢ T-test for dependent samples (parametric)
➢ McNemar change test (non-parametric for
nominal and dichotomous variables)
➢ Wilcoxon signed-rank test (non-parametric for
ordinal variable)
Statistics to use
Test of Difference between Two Data Sets from
Two Different Groups
➢ T-test for independent samples (parametric)
➢ Two-way chi-square (non-parametric for
nominal variable)
➢ Mann-Whitney U test (non-parametric for
ordinal variable)
Statistics to use
Test More than Two Population Means
➢ Analysis of Variance or ANOVA (parametric)

Test the Strength of Relation or Effect or Impact


➢ Regression (parametric)
EXAMPLE
• ANALYSIS SHOULD
BE DESCRIBE PER
OBJECTIVE.
• WHAT STATISTICS
WILL BE USED FOR
EACH OBJECTIVE.
