1. Figure 4 From Design Approach For Machine Learning

In paired sample hypothesis testing, a sample from the population is chosen and two measurements for each element in the sample are taken. Each set of measurements is considered a sample. Unlike the hypothesis testing studied so far, the two samples are not independent of one another. Paired samples are also called matched samples or repeated measures. For example, if you want to determine whether drinking a glass of wine or drinking a glass of beer has the same or different impact on memory, one approach is to take a sample of say 40 people, and have half of them drink a glass of wine and the other half drink a glass of beer, and then give each of the 40 people a memory test and compare results. This is the approach with independent samples. Another approach is to take a sample of 20 people and have each person drink a glass of wine and take a memory test, and then have the same people drink a glass of beer and again take a memory test; finally we compare the results.

This is the approach used with paired samples. The advantage of this second approach is the sample can be smaller.

Reflected in the instructional approaches in this study because it employs instructivist. Hermeneutics is a. Chapter 4: Research methodology and design. Chapter 4: Research methodology and design research.

Also since the sampled subjects are the same for beer and wine there is less chance that some external factor ( confounding variable) will influence the result. The problem with this approach is that it is possible that the results of the second memory test will be lower simply because the person has imbibed more alcohol. This can be corrected by sufficiently separating the tests, e.g.

By conducting the test with beer a day after the test with wine. It is also possible that the order in which people take the tests influences the result (e.g. The subjects learn something on the first test that helps them on the second test, or perhaps taking the test the second time introduces a degree of boredom that lowers the score). One way to address these order effects is to have half the people drink wine on day 1 and beer on day 2, while for the other half the order is reversed (called counterbalancing). The following table summarizes the advantages of paired samples versus independent samples: Paired Samples Independent Samples Need fewer participants Fewer problems with fatigue or practice effects Greater control over confounding variables Participants are less likely to figure out the purpose of the study Figure 1 – Comparison of independent and paired samples Obviously not all experiments can use the paired sample design. If you are testing differences between men and women, then independent samples will be necessary. As you will see from the next example, the analysis of paired samples is made by looking at the difference between the two measurements.

As a result, this case uses the same techniques as for the one sample case, although a type 1 TTEST or the paired sample data analysis tool can also be used. Example 1: A clinic provides a program to help their clients lose weight and asks a consumer agency to investigate the effectiveness of the program. The agency takes a sample of 15 people, weighing each person in the sample before the program begins and 3 months later to produce the table in Figure 2. Determine whether the program is effective. Figure 2 – Data for paired sample example Let x = the difference in weight 3 months after the program starts. The null hypothesis is: H 0: μ = 0; i.e. Any differences in weight is due to chance We can make the following calculations using the difference column D: s.e.

= std dev / = 6.33 / = 1.6343534 t obs = ( x̄ – μ) /s.e. = (10.93 – 0) /1.63 = 6.6896995 t crit = TINV( α, df) = TINV(.05, 14) = 2.1447867 Since t obs  t critwe reject the null hypothesis and conclude with 95% confidence that the difference in weight before and after the program is not due solely to chance.

Alternatively we can use a type 1 TTEST to perform the analysis as follows: p-value = TTEST(B4:B18, C4:C18, 2, 1) = 1.028E-05. Dear Charles, I find your tutorials and explanations really helpful. However, I have some issues choosing an appropriate statistical test for my work. I hope you can help me. I have teeth samples that I have separated on dentine and enamel, from two different geographic places and I have some life habits information from patients. Basically, I want to compare results between dentine and enamel (in general) and then based on the origin and life habits. Which test should I used?

Since I have less then 30 samples, I thought that t-test wouldbe appropriate. My null hypothesis would be that there is difference between tooth components in general; difference in toothe components based on origin; based on life habits. Is this a right approach? Many thanks for advices and help for solution of my issue. Best regards, Hans. One factor in determining whether this is the correct approach is the type of measurement for “difference between tooth components”.

From your description, I can’t tell what sort of measurement you are using for dentine and enamel or are you using a measurement such as the percentage of enamel. If you use a t test, you need to decide between a two independent sample t test and a paired samples t test. The latter would be more appropriate when the tooth components are in the same tooth. I also don’t understand how you are measuring life habits. Are you going to perform multiple tests, one for each life habit under consideration or do you have some general overarching way of determining this (e.g. Rich vs poor, and you use the specific life habits to determine which category to use). In summary, I would need to understand the scenario better to give a definitive answer to your question.

As a project for class, I am conducting a t-test on data retrieved from a survey. My hypothesis is ” Does all of the information and support latent with E-commerce outweigh the ability to tangibly sense the product you are buying in terms of customer satisfaction”.

I used a t-test assuming equal variances in excel with a hypothesized mean difference of 0. The test itself was easy to administer, deciphering the output is another story.

Namely the following: df 14 t Stat 1.534834562 P(T. I believe I understand, I referenced this test: t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Means E-comm Physical Mean 7.961904762 5.321428571 Variance 9 5 Observations 7 7 Pearson Correlation -0.522168373 Hypothesized Mean Difference 2 df 6 t Stat 0.256973779 P(T. I am working on my Master Thesis and I have a question about this test if you can help me. With the example that you use on this article let’s say that I have a group of 20 people and have them try 3 different drinks (Beer, Wine, Wiskey).

I used Bonferroni Post Hoc test to find if the differences between the 3 values are significant. I could do the same and compare every value with each other with Paired T Test.

This test gives me much different p values than bonferroni. Paired T-test in this case whould be valid? Hello, I have a question about the use of the paired t-test. I’m conducting a research about the efforts for sustainability a certain company. I used a survey with 80 respondents (employees of that company). I used a scale from 1 (not important) to 5 (very important). I want to see if there’s a difference between the perceived importance and the desired importance.

Perceived importance: which level of importance does the company currently award to each item. Desired importance: which level of importance do YOU wish the company would award to each item.

Examples of items: – Natural sources protection – Investment into environmental technologies –. (there are 21 items). I would like to see if there is a ‘gap’ between the perceived and the desired importance.

Can I use the paired t-test to see if there’s a significant difference? Thank you for your article Annelien. My congratulations for your website and your professionality. I have one question for you: I’d like to test if a change of exposure of a product (say, an innovative shelf) over a test sample of stores Vs. A matched control sample will be significative.

By “matched” I mean that each store in the test sample has a “twin” store in the control sample, according to a set of measures (e.g. Volume sales of the product and their change over time). I’d need to estimate the size of the matched samples (equal sizes).

I’ve available historical data for all the stores of a given chain, hence I can compute mean and standard deviation of product sales and also of their trend (i.e. Percentage change between last year and previous year).

Sois this a paired t-test and if yes should I somehow factor in the sample size estimation the correlation between the two matched samples? Many, many thank for your help!!! For a 2 tailed test, due to symmetry of the t distribution, you can use the absolute value of the t statistic. Thus the p-value = T.DIST.2T(ABS(-1.5917),24) = 0.1245.10 = alpha, and so you can’t reject the null hypothesis. Note that this doesn’t mean that you “accept” the null hypothesis, just that you are 90% confident in it (which is not the same thing as 100% confident). Note that the two-tailed critical value = T.INV.2T(.1,24) = 1.710, which is not the same as the value you calculated. Sorry Charles, I am really a dummy over statistics.

And need more clarification from you. Hope you can help me more. Appreciate first. The case said that “the scores in a mths capability test of 14 randomly chosen male and 14 randomly chosen female. The scores of male and female are normal. Some ppl suspect that the average scores of male and female are different.

At 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to support that argument?” And the related info shows: df = 24, t Stat = -1.5917, P(T aplha = 0.05？. Cecil, The p-value of.1245 is for the two-tailed test, and so you need to compare.1245 WITH.1, not.05. Since.1245.10, you don’t have evidence to reject the null hypothesis. You probably want to call this “accepting” the null hypothesis, but this is technically not correct since there is still some doubt about the result. This doesn’t mean that you should accept H1 — far from it.

You are 90% confident in the null hypothesis. There are two outcomes: (1) reject the null hypothesis (i.e. You have evidence for H1) or (2) don’t reject the null hypothesis (i.e. You evidence in favor of the null hypothesis. As I said in my earlier response, I don’t believe that you have calculated the critical value correctly.

Dear Sir, Thanks for your wonderful website!! I would like a word of advice from you. Prawns are known to lose weight after fished out of water. I want to check claim of a firm that its product (weight increasing additive) increases weight of prawn by better water retention. Following is plan of experiment.

Please advice whether it is correct. All prawns for experiment will be harvested form same pond. All will be in weight range of 28 g to 30 g per individual. Hypothesis Ho: μ (without treatment) = μ (with treatment) H1: μ (without treatment) ≠ μ (with treatment) α: 0.05 Without Treatment: In this group, weight increasing additive is NOT added. 1kg prawns and 1liter chilled water is kept in each of 15 tubs. Let us say, this is row A. With Treatment: In this group, weight increasing additive IS added.

1kg prawns, 1 liter chilled water and weight increasing additive is added (as per dose prescribed by manufacturer) in each of 15 tubs. Let us say this is row B. Both row A and row B are arranged simultaneously and kept undisturbed for 150 minutes in the same room at same temperature.

After 150 minutes, water is drained and weight gain (in percentage) is noted in prawns in each tub. For this arrangement, can we consider A1 and B1 as one pair of tubs, A2 and B2 as second pair and so on upto A15 and B15. I.e can we say we have arranged 15 pairs of tubs with each pair having one tub without treatment and other with treatment, all other conditions being same. Thus, if we apply t test for dependent samples, would it be correct for aim of our experiment?

Or should I apply t test for independent samples? Vijay Rathod. Hello, Charles! First I would like to thank you for all these great information!

I have one question. I have recently had an assignment and I would like to know if I was right. The assignment was to find out whether there was a significance increase from 2014 to 2015 in the number of visitors in Museum X. As for the data, I had the number of visitors for each month in 2015 and for each month in 2016. I have conducted a t.test for independent samples and created a confidence interval, but now I am starting to think that I was wrong and they were in fact dependent samples. I would like to ask for your opinion.

Do you think that it’s dependent or independent? And if it is dependent sample, can it also be correct the t.test for independent sample? I read somewhere this “Since the pairing is explicitly defined and thus new information added to the data, paired data can always be analyzed with the independent sample t-test as well, but not vice versa.” and was wondering if it is true. Charles, I am testing performance of a measurement device, then making a change to the device and repeating the tests on the same device. The goal is to improve the performance of the device as indicated by increased precision (lower standard deviation of the results on a series of tests after the change). Each test consists of 6 measurements; each test is repeated 3 times before and after the change. This results in 3 standard deviation values from the tests before the change and 3 standard deviation values from the tests after the change.

My question is, which t-test should I use to evaluate the results: Paired sample t-Test since it is the same measurement device? Two Sample t-Test equal variances if the variances of the two data sets is similar? Two Sample t-Test unequal variances if the variances of the two data sets is not similar?

I am in a graduate stats course and having some trouble. Here is my scenario: Scenario: Dr. White is a geriatric nursing practitioner. He would like to know whether a new treatment compared with the regular treatment makes difference on patients’ memory. After his research proposal was approved by IRB at his institution, he randomly recruited patients from his clinics for the study. Patients who agreed to participate in his study were randomly assigned to either the treatment group or the control group. Patients who were in the treatment group received the new treatment, and patients who were in the control group received regular treatment.

Both groups of patients’ memories were tested after four weeks of treatments. I’m having a hard time deciding if I should use an independent t-test or a paired t-test. These appears to be two independent groups to me however the re-measure of memory makes me want to used a paired t-test. I am using spss software just confused on which test best fits. Any suggestions would help.

Hi Charles, Thanks for your great resources here! I have a question for a data analysis task. I conducted a survey with the following parameters: 15 Questions Each question has the same Likert Scale (1Strongly Disagree-5 Strongly Agree) 10 respondents I ran the same survey prior and after the implementation of a new project model.

How can I apply the paired t-test to evaluate whether a significant improvement due to the new project model has occurred? Am I right if I compare the average values per question in the paired t-test? Q1: PRE=3.9 POST=4.3 Q2: PRE=3.5 POST=4.1 The questions would be the measurement variables and the averages the two nominal variables calculated as the average value per question from the 10 respondents. Or would that be methodologically incorrect? Thanks a lot!

Hi Charles, Thanks for your explanations. Just want to clarify some key points of sign test. 1)When n≤25, we can: a. Use BINOMDIST.test to calculate P and then compare it with P0, or b. Find the critical value from the sign test table and then compare it with the test statistic to decide to reject or fail to reject H0. 2) When n25, we can find the critical value z0 from the standard normal table and then compare it with the test statistic z to decide to reject or fail to reject H0.

And, a paired-sample sign test is similar to a single sample sign test as above. Correct me if I got anything wrong, please. Best withes Steven. Steven, What you said is basically correct, but I have the following observations: 1. You can always use the binomial test, whether n is bigger or smaller than 25. For values of n sufficiently large (say n 25) the normal distribution is a good approximation for the binomial distribution and so you can use it instead. The table of critical values is probably the table of critical values for the binomial distribution (essentially the values of CRITBINOM in Excel) 3.

I assume that by P0 you mean alpha. Greetings, Charles As always, your website always comes up in various internet searches, and there is always useful infomation that cannot be (easily) found elsewhere. And of course, your generosity does not end there, given that you always provide help to those who ask. Here is a question, if I may. I’d like to run at paired t-test for a set of PRE POST variable, but would like a ONE tailed (positive difference for POST minus PRE) test and CONFIDENCE intervals. I notice that the output you provide has NO confidence intervals for the one tailed test.

I suppose they should be given as either “lower bound” or”upper bound” only, the latter pertaining to my case. Here are some questions, if I may, please: 1) Can can one “compare” such outcomes. For a two-tailed test, if both confidence interval boundaries are on either side of ZERO (not crossing it), the diagnosis of “difference” is easy to make How does it work for ONE-tailed tests? 2) Can one simply change the “alpha” and obtain a two-sided confidence interval, of which ONE of its boudaries will have the SAME as the outer boundery of the one-sided test confidence interval?

Once again, thank you very much for your generous help. If mu represents the population mean, x-bar is the sample mean, se is the sample standard error and crit = T.INV(1-alpha,df), then when H0: mu 0, then the confidence interval is (x-bar – se.crit, +infinity). If H0: mu = 0 and H1: mu. Many thanks, Charles. You provided 2 key point I could not find in books: ” If 0 is in this interval, then the null hypothesis is accepted”!

And that for positive one-tailes, the interval used is that with the lower value to infinity that is used. It now became so clear! I’m working on SPSS, but decided to work with your addins, especially for such issues as one-tailed analyses, etc For the paired t-test, you provide effect sizes, Pearson’s “r” and Cohen’s “d”. I’d like to make a diagram such as the following in my dissertation that will show a score of d = 1.7 I saw such diagrams in another t-test page of yours. Can a set of two curves be drawn using “real statistics”? Once again, thanks for everything.
