9 Data Preparation Process Prepare Preliminary Plan of Data Analysis Check Questionnaire Edit Code Transcribe Clean Data Statistically Adjust the Data Source: Malhotra, 2012 Select Data Analysis Strategy

10 Questionnaire Checking A questionnaire returned from the field may be unacceptable for several reasons. Parts of the questionnaire may be incomplete. The pattern of responses may indicate that the respondent did not understand or follow the instructions. One or more pages are missing. The questionnaire is received after the preestablished cutoff date. The questionnaire is answered by someone who does not qualify for participation.

11 Editing Treatment of Unsatisfactory Results Returning to the Field The questionnaires with unsatisfactory responses may be returned to the field, where the interviewers recontact the respondents. Assigning Missing Values If returning the questionnaires to the field is not feasible, the editor may assign missing values to unsatisfactory responses. Discarding Unsatisfactory Respondents In this approach, the respondents with unsatisfactory responses are simply discarded.

12 Coding Data coding Coding the variables Coding the response/items for each variable Eg. Variable for gender = sex Coding item 1=male, 2=female The numerical scale can be coded by using the actual number circled by the respondents (question 6 to 21) Random checks should be conducted to ensure data are coded correctly

Employment Status [1] Part time [2] Full time Here are some questions that ask you to tell us how you experience your work life in general. Please circle the appropriate number on the scales below. To what extent would you agree with the following statements, on a scale of 1 to 7, 1 denoting very low agreement and 7 denoting very high agreement? 6. The major happiness of my life comes from my job Time at work flies by quickly I live, eat and breathe my job My work is fascinating My work gives me a sense of accomplishment My supervisor praises good work The opportunities for advancement are very good here My coworkers are very stimulating People can live comfortably with their pay in this organization I get a lot of cooperation at the workplace My supervisor is not very capable Most things in life are more important than work Working here is a drag The promotion policies here are very unfair My pay is barely adequate to take care of my expenses My work is not the most important part of my life

15 Data Cleaning Consistency Checks Consistency checks identify data that are out of range, logically inconsistent, or have extreme values. Computer packages like SPSS, SAS, EXCEL and MINITAB can be programmed to identify out-of-range values for each variable and print out the respondent code, variable code, variable name, record number, column number, and out-of-range value. Extreme values should be closely examined.

16 Data Cleaning Treatment of Missing Responses Substitute a Neutral Value A neutral value, typically the mean response to the variable, is substituted for the missing responses. Substitute an Imputed Response The respondents' pattern of responses to other questions are used to impute or calculate a suitable response to the missing questions. In casewise deletion, cases, or respondents, with any missing responses are discarded from the analysis. In pairwise deletion, instead of discarding all cases with any missing values, the researcher uses only the cases or respondents with complete responses for each calculation.

20 What is Statistics process of making sense of data Descriptive Stat describe the basic features of data using tables, graphs, summary stats Inferential Stat generalising from samples to populations performing estimations, hypothesis tests, determining relationships and making predictions

21 Descriptive Statistics Norminal data frequencies, %, cross tabulation, mode, pie chart, bar chart Ordinal data - frequencies, %, cross tabulation, mode, median, pie chart, bar chart Interval & Ratio data mean, variance, std deviation, skewness, kurtosis, index number, histogram, box plot, stem and leaf plot

22 Inferential Statistics Statistical Techniques: Exploring differences between groups Exploring relationship Parametric Data must be interval and the distribution must be normal Nonparametric Data is categorical (norminal/ordinal) or interval but distribution is not normal

23 Data analysis Basic objectives: Getting a feel for the data Testing the goodness of data Testing the hypotheses Feel for the data Checking for the central tendency and the dispersion If there is less variability, the questions could be not properly worded Check for similar response for every questions Remember, if there is no variability in the data, then no variance can be explained

24 Data analysis It is always prudent to obtain: Frequency distributions for the demographic variables The mean, standard deviation, range and variance on the other dependent and independent variables An inter-correlation matrix of the variables, regardless whether hypotheses are related to the these analyses. If the correlation between two variables is high, say over.75, we should wonder whether they are really two different concepts or we are measuring the same concepts.

25 Data analysis Testing goodness of data Reliability Cronbach s alpha. The closer Cronbach s alpha is to 1, the higher the internal consistency reliability Split-half reliability coefficient Stability measures include: Parallel from reliability Test-retest reliability Validity Criterion-related validity Convergent validity Discriminant validity

26 Choosing the Test Depends on: Data Norminal or Interval/Ratio Data Samples one/two/k-samples Purpose Describing, Comparing two statistics or Looking at relationship

27 A Classification of Univariate Techniques Univariate Techniques Metric Data Non-numeric Data One Sample * t test * Z test Independent * Two- Group test * Z test * One-Way ANOVA Two or More Samples Related * Paired t test One Sample * Frequency * Chi-Square * K-S * Runs * Binomial Independent * Chi-Square * Mann-Whitney * Median * K-S * K-W ANOVA Two or More Samples Related * Sign * Wilcoxon * McNemar * Chi-Square Source: Malhotra, 2012

28 Univariate Analysis Univariate analysis is the simplest form of analyzing data. Uni means one, so in other words your data has only one variable. It doesn't deal with causes or relationships (unlike regression) and it's major purpose is to describe; it takes data, summarizes that data and finds patterns in the data. It explores each variable in a data set, separately. It looks at the range of values, as well as the central tendency of the values. It describes the pattern of response to the variable. It describes each variable on its own.

29 A Classification of Multivariate Techniques Multivariate Techniques Dependence Technique Interdependence Technique One Dependent Variable More Than One Dependent Variable Variable Interdependence Interobject Similarity * Cross-Tabulation * Analysis of Variance and Covariance * Multiple Regression * 2-Group Discriminant/Logit * Conjoint Analysis * Multivariate Analysis of Variance * Canonical Correlation * Multiple Discriminant Analysis * Structural Equation Modeling and Path Analysis * Factor Analysis * Confirmatory Factor Analysis * Cluster Analysis * Multidimensional Scaling Source: Malhotra, 2012

30 Multivariate Analysis Multivariate Data Analysis refers to any statistical technique used to analyze data that arises from more than one variable. This essentially models reality where each situation, product, or decision involves more than a single variable.

31 Steps Involved in Hypothesis Testing Formulate H 0 and H 1 Select Appropriate Test Choose Level of Significance Collect Data and Calculate Test Statistic Determine Probability Associated with Test Statistic (p value) Compare with Level of Significance, Determine Critical Value of Test Statistic TS CR Determine if TS CAL falls into (Non) Rejection Region Reject or Do not Reject H 0 Draw Research Conclusion

32 Hypothesis Testing Hnull & Halternative A null hypothesis is a statement of the status quo, one of no difference or no effect. If the null hypothesis is not rejected, no changes will be made. An alternative hypothesis is one in which some difference or effect is expected. Accepting the alternative hypothesis will lead to changes in opinions or actions. The null hypothesis refers to a specified value of the population parameter (e.g., m, s, p ), not a sample statistic (e.g., ). X

33 H 1 : p > Hypothesis Testing Hnull & Halternative A null hypothesis may be rejected, but it can never be accepted based on a single test. In classical hypothesis testing, there is no way to determine whether the null hypothesis is true. The null hypothesis is formulated in such a way that its rejection leads to the acceptance of the desired conclusion. The alternative hypothesis represents the conclusion for which evidence is sought. H 0 : p

34 Hypothesis Testing Hnull & Halternative The test of the null hypothesis is a one-tailed test, because the alternative hypothesis is expressed directionally. If that is not the case, then a two-tailed test would be required, and the hypotheses would be expressed as: H 0 : p = H 1 : p

35 One-Tailed & Two-Tailed Test

36 One-Tailed & Two-Tailed Test

37 Test Statistic The test statistic measures how close the sample has come to the null hypothesis. The test statistic often follows a well-known distribution, such as the normal, t, or chisquare distribution. In our example, the z statistic,which follows the standard normal distribution, would be appropriate. z = p - p s p where s p = p ( 1 - p ) n

38 Type I and Type II error Type I Error Type I error occurs when the sample results lead to the rejection of the null hypothesis when it is in fact true. Type II Error Type II error occurs when, based on the sample results, the null hypothesis is not rejected when it is in fact false.
