1) pool data fromt he 2 groups into 1 sample

2) rank the observations in the pooled sample

3) sum the ranks w/in groups

4) calculate the test statistic U

5) calculate p-value

Q

there are 20 patients w/ulnar fxs in a peds ER that are asked to rate their pain on a VAS scale 1-20

10 were randomly given a stuffed animal upon admission and 10 weren’t. conduct a test to determine if the median pain scores for these groups were significantly different.

stuffed animal group: 9,8,4,12,14,9,14,6,5,7
no stuffed animal group: 6,5,19,8,10,13,20,12,12,15

pooled stuffed animal: 8.5,6.5,1,12,15.5,3.5,2,5
pooled no stuffed animal: 3.5,17.5,19,6.5,10,14,20,12,12, 17.5

U=31.500

p (2 sided)=0.161

is the data categorical or continuous?

what is the hypothesis?

what are the rank sums?

if this one or two sided?

what is the conclusion?

A

the data is ordinal (categorical)=nonparametrics

m1: median for pts who received stuffed animals
m22: median for pts who didn’t receive stuffed animals

H0: m1=m2
Ha: m1 is not equal to m2

rank sum for m1: 78
rank sum for m2: 132

this is two sided

conclusion: VAS scores in children who got the stuffed animal is similar to the children who didn’t get the stuffed animal (U=31.500, p=0.161)

fail to reject H0 bc p>alpha

123
Q

if n is less than 30 and the data is continuous, what test should be run?

A

SW

124
Q

if the p of two independent samples is greater than alpha, what test should be run?

A

independent samples t test

125
Q

how do we decide whether to run the independent samples t test for equal or unequal variances?

A

run the Levene’s test

126
Q

if one of the p values of 2 independent samples is less than or equal to alpha, what test do we run?

A

Mann Whitney U test

127
Q

t/f: when comparing 2 related population means, the observations from 2 “sets” are naturally paired together

A

true

128
Q

do sample sizes have to be the same in both sets when comparing related samples?

A

yes

129
Q

what is the test called that compares 2 related population means?

A

paired sample(s) t test

130
Q

what are the drawbacks of using independent variables in testing?

A

randomization is good but not perfect and may lead to samples being imbalanced w/regard to important factors (more of one age in a group)

“no intervention” groups aren’t “controlled” (what if one beings a diet/exercise regimine during the study?)

131
Q

what are the benefits of using 2 related samples in testing?

A

subjects serve as “self control”

removes any variability from the randomization process (bc there is only one group that everyone falls under)

more directly measures the impact of the intervention

132
Q

what is the most common example of paired data?

A

b4 and after studies

133
Q

what are examples of paired sample tests?

A

intervention studies

twin studies

comparative studies of spousal characteristics

134
Q

what are the assumptions of paired sample t tests?

A

2 samples are drawn from normally distributed populations

OR

sample sizes are big enough (greater than 30) for both samples

135
Q

if the samples are not large enough in a paired t test, what test should be run?

A

SW

136
Q

t/f: the sample sizes of of related samples is the # of pairs, not the # of observations

A

true

137
Q

how do we test the assumption of normality in paired samples?

A

calculate the difference (di) bw paired values and run the SW test

138
Q

what are the 3 possible hypotheses for the paired samples t test?

A

H0: mu1=mu2; Ha: mu1 is not equal to mu2

H0: mu1 is less than or equal to mu2; Ha: mu1>mu2

H0: mu1 is greater than or equal to mu2; Ha: mu1<mu2

OR

H0: mud=0; Ha: mud is not equal to 0

H0: mud is less than or equal to 0; Ha: mud>0

H0: mud is greater than or equal to 0; Ha: mud<0

139
Q

what is mu d?

A

mu1-mu2

140
Q

we measure a preferred overground gait speed in 8 ambulatory individuals with SCI b4 and after 30 sessions of intensive locomotor training (1 hr/session, 5 days/week)

is the intensive locomotor training effective in increasing the preferred overground gait speed in ppl w/motor-incomplete SCI?

p (normality test)=.420

t=-2.986

p=0.020

what are the hypotheses?

is it one or two sided?

what kind of data is it?

what is n?

should a SW test be run?

what is the p value?

what is the conclusion?

A

H0: mu pre is greater than or equal to mu post
Ha: mu pre < mu post

ratio variable

n<30

SW test should be run

p=0.010

conclusion: intensive locomotor training significantly increased the mean preferred gait speed in ppl w/motor-incomplete SCI (t=-2.986, DF=7, p=0.010)

identical to the one sample t test on the within-pair differences

calculate the differences di=xi-yi

run a one sample t test on the difference di

142
Q

what is the procedure for the Wilcoxon signed rank test for paired samples?

3) run the Wilcoxon signed rank test on the differences di

143
Q

10 individuals are recruited to attend a public health education forum. before attending a 20 question test was administered testing health knowledge. individuals attended the forum then take a similar 20 question test. researchers want to test if the median # of correct answers improved.

before: 10,12,9,14,8,5,15,17,13,4
after: 12,15,8,18,18,14,10,18,11,19
differences: -2,-3,1,-4,-10,-9,5,-1,2,-15
ranks: 3.5,5,1.5,6,9,8,7,1.5,3,5,10
signed: -3.5,-5,1.5,-6,-9,-8,7,-1.5,3,5,-10

DF=10

p(normality test)=0.008

p-value (2 sided)=0.114

what is n?

what is the hypothesis?

what is the conclusion on normality?

what is the test statistic?

what is p?

what is the conclusion?

A

continuous variable

n<30

H0: m pre is greater than or equal to m post / md is greater than or equal to 0
Ha: m pre<m post / md < 0

conclusion on normality: p<alpha=nonparametrics
