Correlation Flashcards
what does a scattergram tell you
type of relationship direction cluster (hugginess) gaps outliers
what is covariance
not standardised
cross-product deviations (comparing 2 variables)
what is variance
comparing 1 variable
a scattergram can be
linear
curvilinear
none (random)
mathematical assumptions of pearsons r
interval scale at least
normality
normality is
normal skew normal kurtosis unimodal no outliers non sig. shapiro wilk >0.05
pearsons r reveals
linear correlation range direction magnitude significance
cohens weak, mod, strong for r
.1
.3
.5
cohens effect size for r squared
.01 w
.09 m
.25 s
factors affecting r
sample size
range restriction
heterogenous samples
multicollineararity
more circle cross over
ordinal data use
spearman
kendal
categoric and interval data use
eta
point biserial
categorical data use to test correlation
chi squared
categorical data use to test effect
phi (2x2)
kramer (more than 2x2)
mathematical assumptions for chi
independent observations
call frequency more than 5
if not independent observations use to test correlation
mcnemar
if not more than 5 cell frequencies use
fisher
