The Nature of Your Data
![Page 2: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The purpose of this presentation is to help you determine if the two data sets you are working with in this problem are:
![Page 3: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The purpose of this presentation is to help you determine if the two data sets you are working with in this problem are:
Dichotomous by Scaled
Ordinal by Another Variable
or
Dichotomous by Dichotomous
![Page 4: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
First, let's define what each of these mean.
Dichotomous by Scaled
Ordinal by Ordinal
or
Dichotomous by Dichotomous
![Page 5: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Beginning with
Dichotomous by Dichotomous
![Page 6: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is dichotomous data?
![Page 7: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The "Di" in Dichotomous means "two"
![Page 8: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
. . . and "tomous" or "tomy" as in “appendec-tomy” means to divide by.
![Page 9: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
. . . and "tomous" or "tomy" as in “appendec-tomy” means to divide by.
![Page 10: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
So, dichotomous means to divide by two.
![Page 11: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In this case a variable is divided by two or specifically it can only take on two values.
![Page 12: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
For example:
![Page 13: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Gender is a good example of a dichotomous data.
![Page 14: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Gender is a good example of a dichotomous data. It generally takes on two values
![Page 15: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Gender is a good example of a dichotomous data. It generally takes on two values (1) male (2) female
![Page 16: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In some cases individuals are divided by (1) those who received a treatment and (2) those who did not.
![Page 17: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
For example:
![Page 18: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
You have been asked to determine if those who eat asparagus score higher on a well-being scale (1-10) than those who do not.
![Page 19: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
You have been asked to determine if those who eat asparagus score higher on a well-being scale (1-10) than those who do not.
![Page 20: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
You have been asked to determine if those who eat asparagus score higher on a well-being scale (1-10) than those who do not.
In this case, we are dealing with those (1) who eat asparagus and those (2) who do not.
![Page 21: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
With dichotomous by dichotomous data you are examining the relationship between two dichotomous variables.
![Page 22: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Here is an example:
![Page 23: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
It has been purported that females prefer artichokes more than do males.
![Page 24: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 31: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Here is what the data set looks like:
![Page 32: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

As you will learn, there is a specific statistical method used to calculate the relationship between two dichotomous variables. It is called the Phi-coefficient.
![Page 36: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Note - a dichotomous variable is also a nominal variable.
![Page 37: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Note - a dichotomous variable is also a nominal variable. However, nominal variables can also take on more than two values:
![Page 38: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Note - a dichotomous variable is also a nominal variable. However, nominal variables can also take on more than two values:
1 = American2 = Canadian3 = Mexican
like so
![Page 39: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Note - a dichotomous variable is also a nominal variable. However, nominal variables can also take on more than two values:
1 = American2 = Canadian3 = Mexican
Dichotomous nominal variables can only take on two values - (e.g., 1 = Male, 2 = Female)
![Page 40: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The next type of relationship involves dichotomous by scaled variables.
![Page 41: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The next type of relationship involves dichotomous by scaled variables.
Dichotomous by Scaled
Dichotomous by Dichotomous
Ordinal by Another Variable
![Page 42: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Now you already know what a dichotomous variable is, but what is a scaled variable?
![Page 43: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
A scaled variable is a variable that theoretically can take on an infinite amount of values.
![Page 44: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A scaled variable is a variable that theoretically can take on an infinite amount of values.
![Page 45: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
For example,
![Page 46: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Let's say a car can go as slow as 0 miles per hour and as fast as 130 miles per hour.
![Page 47: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Within those two points (0 and 130mph) it could go 30 mph, 60 mph, 23 mph, 120 mph, 33.2 mph, 44.302 mph, or even 88.00000000001 mph.
![Page 48: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The point is that between these two points (0 and 130mph) there are an infinite number of values that the speed could take.
![Page 49: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Scaled data also has what are called equal intervals.
![Page 50: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Scaled data also has what are called equal intervals. This means that the basic unit of measurement (e.g., inches, miles per hour, pounds) are the same across the scale:
![Page 51: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Scaled data also has what are called equal intervals. This means that the basic unit of measurement (e.g., inches, miles per hour, pounds) are the same across the scale:
40o - 41o
100o - 101o
70o - 71o
Each set of readings are the same distance apart: 1o

Here is an example of a word problem with scaled by dichotomous variables:
![Page 53: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
You have been asked to determine the relationship between age and hours of sleep. Age is divided into two groups: Middle Age (45-64) and Old Age (65-94).
![Page 54: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
You have been asked to determine the relationship between age and hours of sleep. Age is divided into two groups: Middle Age (45-64) and Old Age (65-94).
The Scaled Variable is hours of sleep which can take on values
from 0 to 8+ hours.
![Page 55: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
You have been asked to determine the relationship between age and hours of sleep. Age is divided into two groups: Middle Age (45-64) and Old Age (65-94).
The Dichotomous Variable is age which in this case can take on two values (1) middle and (2) old age.

Note, in the strictest sense scaled data should be like the car example (values are infinite between 0 and 130 mph).
![Page 63: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
However, in the social sciences many times data that is technically not scaled (e.g., on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the ballerina's performance), are still treated as scaled data.
![Page 64: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
However, in the social sciences many times data that is technically not scaled (e.g., on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the ballerina's performance), are still treated as scaled data.
Yes, it is true there are only 10 values that the variable can take on, but many researchers will treat it as scaled data. For the purposes of this class we will treat variables such as these as scaled data as well.
![Page 65: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

However, if we were rating on a scale of 1-2, 1-3 or 1-4 we most likely would not treat such variables as scaled.
![Page 67: The nature of the data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55874c60d8b42ac7168b4679/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
As you will learn there is a specific statistical method used to calculate the relationship between scaled by dichotomous variables. it is called the Point Biserial Correlation.
