Why is my evil lecturer forcing me to learn statistics?
Field | Chapter 1
Empirical cycle
The empirical cycle of doing research includes the following steps:
1) Observation: an observation sparks an idea for a new research hypothesis à I only know people
with a horrible mother-in-law
2) Induction: it is inferred that a statement is true in all cases, as a general rule (hypothesis) à All
mothers-in-law are horrible
3) Deduction: the hypothesis is transformed into a prediction, by operationalization à All 10
participants will say they have a horrible mother-in-law
4) Testing: the hypothesis is tested by comparing the data to the prediction à 8 out of 10 participants
reported having a horrible mother-in-law
5) Evaluation: results are interpreted in terms of the hypothesis à Not all mothers-in-law are horrible

Falsification = the act of disproving a hypothesis or theory.

Measurement Concepts
Categorical variables
= entities that are divided into distinct categories. Categorical variables can take several forms:
• Binary variable: there are only 2 categories (yes or no).
• Nominal variable: there are more than 2 categories (species).
• Ordinal variable: there are more than 2 categories and they are ordered (place in a competition).

Continuous variables
= entities that get a distinct score. Continuous variables can also take several forms:
• Interval variable: can fall below 0 and therefore does not have a meaningful 0 point: 0 does not
mean that it is absent (if the temperature is 0, this does not mean that there is no temperature).
• Ratio variable: does have a meaningful 0 point, meaning a complete absence. Ratio variables never
fall below 0 (age, weight, height; you cannot weigh less than 0).

Independent variable (IV)
= predictor variable = a variable thought to be the cause of some effect.

Dependent variable (DV)
= outcome variable = a variable thought to be affected by changes in the IV.

Validity = the extent to which an instrument measures what it is supposed to measure.

Measurement error
= a difference between the numbers we use to represent the variable and the actual value of the
variable. In reality you weigh 41kg but a scale says 43kg à the measurement error of the scale is 2kg.

Reliability
= the extent to which an instrument measures consistently across time (test-retest reliability) and
different situations. We want the scale to say 43kg when we weigh ourselves in our own home or
outside; and when we weigh now or after some minutes.
• Test-retest reliability = extent to which a measure produces similar scores at 2 points in time.

Research Designs
Correlational research methods
= methods used to observe natural events without directly interfering. Variables can be measured at a
single point in time, or repeatedly at different time points (longitudinal research).

Experimental research methods
= methods used to observe events by manipulating the independent variable and keeping all other
factors constant. This way confounding variables can be ruled out. There are 2 important types:
• Between-groups design: different groups of subjects take part in each experimental condition (an
experimental- and a control-group).
• Within-subject design: every subject takes part in every condition (pre-/post-measurement).

Systematic variation
= variation due to the experimenter manipulating something in 1 experimental condition but not in the
other. Randomization eliminates most sources of systematic variation.

Analyzing Data
Normal distribution
= data that is symmetric around the mean: data near the mean are
more frequent than data far from it. A distribution can deviate from
normal by: a) a lack of symmetry (skew) and b) pointiness (kurtosis).

Mean
= the average score. Add up all the scores and divide them by the total number of
scores. The mean can be influenced by extreme scores and skewed distributions. The
mean of ‘1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5’ is 3 (1+2+3+3+4+5 : 6).

Mode
= the score that occurs most frequently (tallest bar in a frequency distribution). A problem is that it can
take on several values (when multiple bars are the highest). The mode of ‘1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5’ is 3.

Median
= the middle score when scores are ranked in order of magnitude. When there is an even number of
scores, the median is the average of the 2 middle scores. The median is relatively unaffected by
extreme scores and skewed distributions. The median of ‘1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5’ is 3.5 (3+4 : 2).

Dispersion
Interquartile range
= the middle 50% of the scores. There are 3 quartiles.
§ Quartiles = values that split the data into 4 equal
parts.

Deviance
= error = the difference between an individual score (xi) and the mean (x̄).

Sum of squared errors (SS)
= the total dispersion. A problem of the SS is that its size will
depend on how many scores we have in the data, so we can’t
compare it across samples that differ in size.

Variance (S2)
= the average dispersion. By using the variance we can compare dispersion
across samples that differ in size (N).

Standard deviation (s)
= the square root of the variance. The variance converted back to the original
units of measurement.

Z-score
= the number of standard deviations that a score is smaller or greater than the mean.
What is the probability that someone posted a video on day 60 or later if the mean is 39,68 and the
standard deviation is 7,74? First you calculate the Z-score: (60 – 39,68)/7,74 = 2,63; You then you look
this value up in the Z-table: 0,0043 = 0,43%; the value that you find is the probability that someone
posted a video on day 60 or later.


The SPINE of Statistics
Field | Chapter 2
SPINE stands for Standard error, Parameters, Interval estimates, Null hypothesis significance testing,
Estimation.

Sample
= a smaller subset of the population we want to know something about. The bigger the sample, the
more likely it is to reflect the whole population.

Parameters
Statistical models are made up of variables and parameters (mean, median, correlation coefficients).

Fit
We can use the sum of squared errors and the mean squared error (variance) to calculate the fit of a
model. If we use the mean and the variance is high (which means the scores are spread out form the
mean a lot), the mean may not be a very good fit.

Method of least squares = a method of estimating a parameter while minimizing the sum of squared
errors.

Standard Error
Sampling variation = the fact that samples vary because they contain different members of the
population.

Sampling distribution
= the frequency distribution of sample means (or another parameter) from the same population. This
is also just an estimate, because you can never make a distribution of thousands of samples.

Standard error of the mean (SE)
= the standard deviation of sample means. It is a measure of how representative of the
population a sample mean is likely to be. A large value means that there is a lot of
variability between the means of different samples.
We should divide the population standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.
However, it is rare that we know the population standard deviation, so we often approximate this.
