Chapter 15
Analysis and Reporting of Quantitative Data
![Page 2: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Inferential Analysis
• Enables inference of results from a carefully selected sample to an overall population
• Quantifies the potential effects of error on the results
![Page 3: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
General Rules for Quantitative Analysis
• Statistical tests are selected a priori– The acceptable level of significance is also
selected before analysis begins
• Run all of the identified tests
• Report all of the tests that were run– Selective reporting is a source of bias
![Page 4: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Type of Analysis Driven By…
• The goals of the analysis
• Assumptions of the data
• Number of variables in the analysis
![Page 5: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Statistical Inference
• Intended to answer two fundamental questions:– How probable is it that the differences
between observed results and those expected on the basis of the null hypothesis have been produced by chance alone?
– How reliable are the results obtained?
![Page 6: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Statistical Inference
• Questions about reliability answered by setting confidence limits
• Questions about probability answered by hypothesis testing
• Conclusions concerned with probability of drawing an erroneous conclusion
![Page 7: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Estimation
• Point estimate: this sample statistic equals the population parameter
• Interval estimate: the range of numbers we believe will include the population parameter
Statistical estimation allows for determination of the amount of uncertainty in the estimate
![Page 8: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Confidence Interval
Two numerical values defining an interval that we believe, with an identified level of confidence,
actually includes the estimated population parameter
![Page 9: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Calculation of Confidence Interval for the Mean
• Determination of an acceptable confidence level a priori (1- )
• Identification of coefficient Z
• Calculation of standard error (s / n)
• Determination of the mean
![Page 10: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hypothesis Testing
• Statistical test of significance– Between a sample and a known population – Between two samples– Between two variables in a sample
• Can be used to test differences between:– Means– Proportions– Variances
![Page 11: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Inferential Statistics
• If a difference is detected, may be due to:– Experimental treatment caused the effect– Sampling error caused the effect (chance)
• We cannot prove the experiment caused the difference
• We can estimate the probability it was caused by error
![Page 12: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Steps in Hypothesis Testing
1. State research question as a statistical hypothesis
2. Select the level of significance for the statistical test (alpha)
3. Decide on the appropriate test statistic
4. Determine the value the test statistic must attain to be declared significant (critical value)
5. Perform the calculations for the test statistic
6. Apply decision rule and draw conclusions
![Page 13: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hypotheses
• H0: The null hypothesis
– e.g. H0: = 30
• HA: The alternative hypothesis
– e.g. HA: 30
The null hypothesis is rejected only if data presents sufficiently strong evidence to support the alternative
![Page 14: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Level of Significance
• Level of Significance:– Preset standard that is considered significant
in determining differences– Compare to p value: the probability of a type I
error that the researcher is willing to risk– Most common: .05 and .01
• Set a priori (alpha)
![Page 16: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Most Inferential Tests...
Based upon difference between parameter estimates in the sample and the population or between two samples
Difference between n and N estimates
Standard error

Distributions for Probability
• Each parameter has its own distribution– Variance: F– Proportion: 2
– Mean: t– Correlation: t
• Each finite sample will have its own unique probability distribution
• Closer to normality as sample size increases
![Page 20: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• Calculate test statistic: t = x - SE (x)
• Compare to critical value from t distribution• Apply decision rule to reject / do not reject the
null hypothesis

Decision Rules
• All possible values of the test statistic are divided into 2 regions
• Rejection region– Those values of the test statistic with a low
probability of occurrence if H0 is true
– Statistically constructed at 5%– Critical value: cut point for the rejection
region
![Page 24: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Possible Decisions
• A significant difference is detected between the actual values and the hypothesized values:– Reject the H0
• A significant difference is not detected between the actual values and the hypothesized values– Do not reject the HA
![Page 25: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Type I and II Errors
• Type I Error: Treatment doesn’t work, but we think it does– Leads to unwarranted change– Control by appropriately setting
• Type II Error: Treatment works, but we think it doesn’t– Leads to missed opportunities– Designated as , controlled by sampling
![Page 27: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The t Test of Means
• Differences between mean values:– Between a sample and a known population
value• One sample t
– Between two independent samples• Independent samples t test
– Between two time periods for the same group• Paired samples t test
![Page 28: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Chi Square test
• Tests for differences in rates, proportions, or probabilities– Between a sample proportion and a known
population proportion• Chi square test of model fit
– Between two independent samples• Chi square test of independence
– Between two variables in a single sample• Chi square test of association
![Page 29: NUR307: Chapter 15- Houser](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554b1b86b4c9055d098b5048/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Analysis of Variance
• Tests for differences in means in more than two groups– Single dependent variable
• ANOVA
– Single dependent variable with potential covariates
• ANCOVA
– Single dependent variable measured over more than two time periods
• Repeated Measures ANOVA
