PERSILA WORKSHOP SERIES
“Assessing the Normality, Outliers
and Extreme Cases
AHMAD ZAMRI BIN KHAIRANI
CONFERENCE ROOM SES
7th SEPTEMBER 2013
OBJECTIVES
What? Why? How?
normality
outliers
Extreme scores
Normality of data
What?
Normality is described as a symmetrical bell-shaped curve where the greatest frequency of
the scores in the middle and with the smaller frequencies
toward the extremes
Normality of data
Why?
Many statistical analysis techniques hold the assumption that the
distribution of scores is normal
Normality of data
How?
Skewness & Kurtosis
Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test
Shapiro-Wilk Test
Explore procedure
Normality of data
Analyze Descriptive
Statistics Explore
Dependent variable
Plot Histogram
Normality plots with tests
Normality of data
If the value of skewness is close to 0, then the distribution is
considered normal…. But how close is ‘close’ [ -1 to +1…???]
Normality of data
If the value of Sig. is < .05, then the distribution is considered
normal. Here, it is not…
exercise
1. Refer to your Data1 (SPSS) file.
2. Compute composite score for the following
variables:
Instructional Strategies (IS) :
H7, H10, H11, H17, H18, H20, H23, H24
Student Engagement (SE) :
H1, H2, H4, H6, H9, H12, H14, H22
3. Check whether the distribution of each variable
is normal or not.
Outliers & extreme scores
What?
Score that lies apart from most of the rest of the distribution. Affects normality of distribution
Why?
The data is big
Error in key-in
?
Outliers & extreme scores
How?
Look at the bloxplot in the
Explore procedure
Outliers & extreme scores
Outliers & extreme scores
Outliers & extreme scores
Outliers
Extreme scores
Study them Check the data provide separate analysis with
and without them
Delete them If you are lazy
researcher
exercise
1. Investigate the presence of outliers and/or
extreme scores in the IS and SE variables.
2. If the outliers and/or extreme scores are
present, conduct separate analysis and decide
whether they influence normality of the
distribution or not.

“Correlation & Regression”
AHMAD ZAMRI BIN KHAIRANI
CONFERENCE ROOM SES
7th SEPTEMBER 2013
OBJECTIVES
What? Why? How?
correlation regression
Correlation & regression
similarity
Both examine relationships
among
difference
In interpretation
Correlation
Analyze Correlate Bivariate
Strength of relationship
Value of the Correlation
Coefficient Strength of Correlation
1 Perfect
0.7 - 0.99 Strong
0.4 - 0.69 Moderate
0.1 - 0.39 Weak
0 Zero
Dancey and Reidy's (2004)
Correlation : important notes
Correlation : important notes
Pearson
Interval vs interval
CGPA, summated
scores (???..)
Spearman
Ordinal vs ordinal
Grades,
Kendall’s tau
Non parametric
for Spearman
exercise
1. Refer to your Data1 (SPSS) file.
2. Find the correlation between CM and
BURNOUT. Interprete your findings
REGRESSION
• To see the influence of your IV towards DV
When
• More powerful than correlation
So? • Regression equation
• Variance explained, R square
What
(SIMPLE) regression
Analyze Regression
Linear Dependent
variable: BURNOUT
REGRESSION
0.7% of the variance in BURNOUT is explained
by CM
CM is not a good predictor of BURNOUT (the
higher percentage the better)
Find other variable as predictor……
REGRESSION
Y = 30.56 - .086X1 + 0.32X2 + …..
exercise
1. Refer to your Data1 (SPSS) file.
2. Compute a new variable, TSE = CM + IS + SE
3. Explain the influence of SE towards BURNOUT
WARNING!!
WARNING!!
WARNING!!
Do not correlate or
find the influence of
DIMENSIONS of a
variables towards the
dependent variable as
your main hypothesis
testing, i.e.
Finding
relationship/influence
between CM, IS and SE
towards BURNOUT….
(MULTIPLE) regression
Analyze Regression Linear
Independent variable: TSE
+ A + B Method: Enter
