, Chapter 1: Why is my evil lecturer forcing me to learn statistics
The research process
You begin with an observation that you want to understand. From your initial observation you
generate explanations, or theories, for those observations, from which you make predictions,
hypotheses. After this you collect some relevant data and then analyse those data. The analysis of
the data may support your theory or give you cause to modify the theory.
Initial observation: finding something that needs explaining
Having made a causal observation, you need to collect some data to see whether this observation is
true. To do this, you need to define one or more variables that you would like to measure and think
about how you will measure the variable.
Generating theories and testing them
The next logical step is trying to explain the data by coming up with a theory. From that theory you
can form predictions, known as a hypothesis. You can try to prove your hypothesis, but it is also
important to try and disprove a hypothesis or theory, known as falsification.
Collect data to test your theory
To test hypotheses, we need to measure variables, things that can change or vary, between people,
locations or even time.
- Variables: A variable we think is a cause is known as an independent variable (predictor),
because its value doesn’t depend on any other variables and predicts an outcome variable. A
variable that we think is an effect is called a dependent variable (outcome), because the
value of this variable depends on the cause, the independent variable, and changes as a
function of changes in a predictor variable. The relationship between what is being measured
and the numbers that represent what is being measured is known as the level of
measurement. There are two types of the level of measurement, categorical or continuous.
Categorical is divided into binary, nominal and ordinal variables, and continuous is divided
into interval and ratio variables. A categorical variable is made up of categories, for example
you’re a human or a cat or a fly, you can’t be a bit of a cat and a bit of human. A binary
variable is the simplest form of a categorical variable, it names just two distinct types of
things, male or female, yes or no. A nominal variable is used when numbers are used to
denote categories. An ordinal variable is used when categories are ordered. Ordinal data tell
us not only that things have occurred, but also the order in which they occurred. Another
level of measurement is continuous or interval variables. A continuous variable is one that
gives us a score for each person and can take on any value on the measurement scale that
we are using. The first type of continuous variable is an interval variable, here you must be
certain that equal intervals on the scale represent equal differences in the property being
measured. Ratio variables go a step further than interval data by requiring that in addition to
the measurement scale meeting the requirements of an interval variables, the ratios of
values along the scale should be meaningful, the scale must have a true and meaningful zero
point. Continuous variables can also be discrete. A discrete variable can take on only certain
values on the scale, usually whole numbers.
- Measurement error: There will often be a discrepancy between the numbers we use to
represent the thing we’re measuring and the actual value of the thing we’re measuring, this
discrepancy is known as measurement error.
- Validity and reliability: A way to try to ensure that measurement error is kept to a minimum
is to determine properties of the measure that gives us confidence that it is doing its job
properly. The first property is validity, which is whether an instrument actually measures
