Q

What is systematic Error or bias?

A

How participants are entered to the study. For example a therapist enters a client into the study because he/or she thinks it will be beneficial for the client.

What is regression?

A

Type of analysis designed to predict the levels of another variable.

19

to identify risk factors as predictors of certain conditions

20

R2 = .##

21
Q

What Is mode?

A

The most frequent used number

22
Q

What is median?

A

Mathematical half-pint

23
Q

Parametric Variables? (quantitive research) include?

A

Interval variable - age, weight, muscle power, blood pressure
Ration Variable - absolute 0

24
Q

Non-Parametric Variable? (Qualitative Research) include?

A

Nominal - Gender, race, color, city

Ordinal - Socioeconomic status, level of agreement, developmental levels.

25
Q

Independent variable is?

A

What is being manipulated

such as intervention

26
Q

Dependent variable is?

A

is the output of the independent variable such as outcomes.

27
Q

When do you use T test?

A

Parametric

28
Q

When would you use Independent Sample? (T-test)

A

When comparing two group together

29
Q

When would you use paired sample?

A

When comparing between pretest and posttest scores in single group.

30
Q

What would you use Mann-Whitney U Test

A

Nonparametric

Used to analyze ordinal data from two groups

31
Q

What would you use Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test?

A

Non parametric

Pain Scale

32
Q

What would you use Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

A

Parametric

When there is more than 3 groups and when 2 outcomes being analyzed or repeated measures comparison

33
Q

What would you use Kruskal-Wallis H-Test?

A

Non-parametric involving 3 or more groups

34
Q

What would you use Friedman ANOVA test?

A

Non-Parametric involving comparison of 3 or more variables

35
Q

What is Reliability?

A

Each time the specific method or assessment is used, the outcome will be consistent.
Example: FRT used today, later on during a day and tomorrow should have the same results.

36
Q

Test-Retest Reliability?

A

Consistency of the measurement across time.

+.80

37
Q

Interrater Reliability?

A

Consistency of the measure across different raters
Cohen’s alpha
.90 is considered strong

38
Q

Intrarater Reliability?

A

Same therapist raters the patient on different occasion

39
Q

Internal Consistency?

A

reflects consistency within the measurement itself each part of the measures is consistent to other.
Cronbach’s alpha
+.80 or greater

40
Q

What if Validity ?

A

The degree to which an instrument measures what it is intended to measure.

41
Q

Face Validity?

A

refers to the test and it’s content or protocol if it is designed to assess the variables which are being tested.

42
Q

Content Validity?

A

Indicates and evaluates if the test covered all the aspects of the domain which is being tested.

43
Q

Criterion Validity?

A

The extent to which the test results corresponds with other valid test

44
Q

Construct Validity?

A

Extend to which the instrument generated data fits with the theory or concept
