### Regression analysis with nominal dependent variable

Hello! In short: I'm having issues with figuring out a technique to measure how well does a categorical variable explain variation among a nominal variable, resulting in a simple numeric expression. More precisely. The dataset that I'm using contains individual level data on the...
7. ### paired sample t-test for repeated measures in 1 subject

I am conducting a psychology experiment. In my pilot study I analyze responses of one subject which ran through two conditions. The task is to predict outcomes based on previous outcomes. On every trial the subject tries to predict the outcome as good as possible and learns to adapt the...

Does a Weighted Paired T-test exist? I am comparing the percent of a population that are juvenile between 'Autumn' and 'Spring' at many sites. The Sample size (n) is variable among the sites and between the seasons. Sample data: Site___Fall %__n_____Spring %__n...
9. ### [FAQ] What are independent / dependent variables?

Variables A variable is an object, event, quantity, time period or basically something you are trying to measure. We can then further discriminate between two types of variables: independent and dependent. Independent variables An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like, it isn't...

15. ### Regression with sqrt transformed dependent variable - meaning of the model's B value?

Hi fellow nerds :) My dependent variable had to be transformed by square root (so the residual plot would be normal). I usually use log10 transformations and then the B value (slope) translates into the percents of the dependent variable, but what do I read from a B=-,499 (P=0,015) of a...
16. ### How to combine Probability Distribution Function of Two correlated variables?

I have the probability distribution Functions(PDF) of the wind speeds of two wind sites which have a certain Pearson's correlation coefficient. How can I combine the PDFs of these two sites? I don't have the time stamped data of these two sites, rather, I only have the distributions and...
