Hello, I had to miss my last class in stats and I don't know how to solve this question. 1. For each of the following combinations of values, decide whether the combination is possible or impossible, and if it's impossible, explain why. a. b = .80, sy.x = 0, r = 1.00 b. b = .80, sy.x =...

Hello, everyone! I am perplexed by this issue and would like to seek some help. I know that correlation is not causality. I wonder how to offer a recommendation for further study or a policy when a correlation is found. For instance, if a statistical correlation exists between students'...

Greetings, Suppose I have two linear combinations of values as follows: Y1 = B11*X1 + B12*X2 + B13*X3 Y2 = B21*X1 + B22*X2 + B23*X3 where X1 ~ N(0,1) and X2 ~N(0,1) and X3 ~N(0,1) Can corrY1,Y2 be derived analytically, that is, without me simulating numerous instances of Y1 and Y2 and doing...

Hello, friends. Here is the question that I would like answered. I have literally been sitting here for over an hour trying to find the solution on the web, and I am beyond frustrated (my broken arm doesn't help). What would be the correlation between the annual salary of males and females at...

For about 2 years, a medical problem has more or less repeated, as follows: The problem normally lasts approximately 3 weeks and then goes away for 3 or 4 days and then repeats. When eating a non-conventional food item, the problem goes away in approximately 2 days instead of 3 weeks...

Hello Talkstats users! I am writing here cause I need some guidance on my statistical analysis which has turned out far too complex for my basically begineer stats skills and my self research. Before I ask my specific, I will give some background to my work. The scope of my analysis is to...

My data consists of thousands of machine elements, their price, as well as technical and non-technical attributes. Most of the data is categorical The technical data contains information such as weight, dimensions, material. Each element (identified by unique code) has distinct technical...

I had a quick question. And I am sorry if it seems elementary, but I just have so much trouble with statistical analysis (I use R when I do it generally though). I am trying to test the correlation between the % coral cover at each of my study sites, and the % of coral in sediment collected...

Hi I have 2 time series each 19 data points long which have a correlation coefficient of 0.5. Great! Problem. The time series are both display a large autocorrelation at 1 lag, small at 2 lag and zero at 3. How can I calculate the correlation coefficient taking this autocorrelation into...

Hi, I would like to ask what is the proper correlation coefficient to use for count data and for zero inflated count data. would Kendall tau do the job or would the data violate some assumptions of it?

Hi All, I generated a time series data by simulation (each condition has been generated time condition1 condition2 condition3 .... condition50 0 70 70 70 70 20 67.3 69 70 56 30 67...

Hello everyone I need help with my meta-analysis. I have collected all the studies that I wish to include and would like to take Pearson's correlation as effect size. However, many of the studies do not report correlations, but rather path analysis or SEM coefficients or regression...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out if there is significant correlation between two non stationary time series (e.g. temperature on a a given day and icecream sales). Could someone please propose a method. There are so many different methods i read about online im not sure which to go...

Hi! My collegue is developing a logistic regression to predict the probability of a customer taking up a particular credit card. Let's call the credit card the gold card, so his dependent variable on the left side is GoldCard = 0,1. On the right side of his equation he is also including a...

This is a real problem although I'm using a made-up statistic (# of apples) for this. Say I am interested in how many apples people eat in a year. This varies by many factors. First I look at the country difference (the US vs. Canada). From historical data of the average number of apples...

Hello all. I am working with a data set of multivariate repeated measurements. Specifically, subjects performed an exercise they were taught up to three times each and recorded heart rate variability (HRV) and whether they felt a particular sensation (details omitted). Whether they reported...

Hi all, My colleagues and I are working on a project (i.e., health economics model) where we have fitted parametric curves (using Weibull, Exponential, Gompertz, Log-logistic, Log-normal, and Gamma distributions) to Kaplan-Meier data. In the project, we have estimated various survival curves...

Hi all, I'm currently working on a dataset extracted from a questionnaire and entered and coded in SPSS. Im trying to show correlation/relationships between a range of demographic dependant variables and one outcome variable. The data is nominal and often on a scale (ie.how important would...

I have a large dataset with many subject each with responses from a consecutive year going back 10 years (ie 100,000 persons per year (not necessarily 10 data points per person as they may not have been part of the study in prior years) dating back 10 years). I have data on each specific...
