15 important questions on Practical torture SPSS

When do you use a logistic regression?

To predict an outcome variable that is categorical from
predictor variables that are continuous and/or
categorical

What is a binary logistic regression?

In binary logistic regression the fundamental condition is that the outcome variable is dichotomous and the predictors tend to a linear relationship.
The predictive varibles can be categorical or continuous.

What is a multinomial logistic regression?

Multinomial Logistic Regression is the linear regression analysis to conduct when the dependent variable is nominal with more than two levels.  Thus it is an extension of logistic regression, which analyzes dichotomous (binary) dependents.

How do you perform a Cox proportional hazards regression analysis?

Analyze – Survival –cox regression

What is a logrank test and how do you do it?

nullhypothesis: no difference in survival curves so if p<0,05 alternative hypothesis accepted and there is a difference between kaplan meijer curves
Analyse – Survival –Kaplan-Meier
in compare factor choose logrank

What is a visual of checking for proportional hazards?

The log minus log graph, they should run parallel and not cross. Than assumption of hazards has been met.
Kaplan meijer should not cross
Do a cox regression select the plot in plots, plot different lines for independent variable

What is another way of exploring proportional hazards?

Partial residuals distribution
Run regression and save partial residuals
Scatterplot-> no clear pattern
You can test whether the time and the residuals are associated by running a linear regression with time as the independent variable and the residuals as the dependent variable. The resulting regression coefficient for time should be small and non significant for not violating the assumption of proportional hazards.

How do you compare means of two datasets?

paired t-test
Analyze- compare means-t-test
For the paired samples t-test to be valid the differences between the paired values should be approximately normally distributed.

How do you perform an ICC test with a complete anova?

For icc the data can be entered next to eachother

Analyze-scale-reliability analysis
Statistics- intraclass correlation coefficient with in model: two way random
Select f-test under ANOVA table

Kaplan Meier and Log rank in SPSS

How do you calculate the SEM in the icc?

sqrt(varobserver+varerror)

How do you analyze the variance components?

Enter the data under eachother
Analyze- general linear model- variance components

Under “Options’ choose for ‘Restricted maximum likelihood (REML)’. REML prevents the occurrence of negative variance components.

How do you interpret the SEM?

SEM, put in simple terms, is a measure of precision of the assessment—the smaller the SEM, the more precise the measurement capacity of the instrument.

How to calculate variance in excel?

=VAR(A1:A5)-> range of cells

How do you calculate standard deviation by hand in excel?



Step 1: Find the mean. =AVERAGE(A1:A5)

Step 2: For each data point, distance from the mean-> square this

Step 3: Sum the values from Step 2.

Step 4: Divide by the number of data points.->variance

Step 5: Take the square root.->std
