Statistical Tools Review Questions

Information from the autocorrelation program should be available before running which analysis?

a) nonparametric (Mann-Whitney U)
b) parametric (t test and ANVOA)
c) both a and b are correct

Statistical Tools Review Questions

a) autocorrelation
b) time series
c) both a and b are correct

Statistical Tools Review Questions

Data from several studies can be accumulated and analyzed with

a) binomial expansion
b) Bayesian Analysis
c) both a and b are correct

Statistical Tools Review Questions

You are correct; the time series analysis is the most flexible of these three choices.

The "real" best tool is, of course, determined by the nature of your research design.

Statistical Tools Review Questions

No, time series is the most flexible of the these three programs.

But, the "real" best tool is, of course, determined by the nature of your research design.

Statistical Tools Review Questions

You are correct. Autocorrelation should be completed before running the t test ANOVA, or the Mann-Whitney U.

If the autocorrelation is significant, there is risk that t test or ANOVA will overestimate the extent of difference between the variables.

Statistical Tools Review Questions

Although your answer is correct, the best answer is "c". Autocorrelation should be completed before running the t test, ANOVA, or the Mann-Whitney U.

If the autocorrelation is significant, there is risk that t test or ANOVA will overestimate the extent of difference between the variables.

Statistical Tools Review Questions

Correct. Both the time series (C statistic) and autocorrelation programs assess serial dependency.

The autocorrelation only calculates the dependency within a variable. The time series calculates the dependency within a variable and the impact when variables are added together.

Statistical Tools Review Questions

For this question the best answer is also "c". Both the time series (C statistic) and autocorrelation programs assess serial dependency.

The autocorrelation only calculates the dependency within a variable. The time series calculates the dependency within a variable and the impact when variables are added together.

You are correct.

Both the binomial expansion and Bayesian analysis can be used to combine the outcome of several separate single-case studies.

Statistical Tools Review Questions

No, the best answer for this question is both a and b.

Both procedures can be used to combine the outcome of several separate single-case studies.
