Types of Statistical Data Analysis


Types of statistical analysis of variables in a quantitative research are as follows:
 Univariate Analysis – analysis of one variable
 Bivariate Analysis – analysis of two variables (independent and dependent variables)
 Multivariate Analysis – analysis of multiple relations between multiple
variables
Statistical Tests are of various types, depending upon the nature of the study. Statistical tests provide a
method for making quantitative decisions about a particular sample. Statistical tests mainly test the
hypothesis that is made about the significance of an observed sample.

Statistical Methods of Bivariate Analysis
Bivariate analysis happens by means of the following methods (Argyrous 2011; Babbie 2013; Punch 2014):
1. Correlation or Covariation (correlated variation) – describes the relationship between two variables and also tests
the strength or significance of their linear relation. This is a relationship that makes both variables getting the same high
score or one getting a higher score and the other one, a lower score.
Covariance is the statistical term to measure the extent of the change in the relationship of two random variables.
Random variables are data with varied values like those ones in the interval level or scale (strongly disagree, disagree,
neutral, agree, strongly agree) whose values depend on the arbitrariness or subjectivity of the respondent.
2. Cross Tabulation – is also called “crosstab or students-contingency table” that follows the format of a matrix (plural:
matrices) that is made up of lines of numbers, symbols, and other expressions. Similar to one type of graph called table,
matrix arranges data in rows and columns. By displaying the frequency and percentage distribution of data, a crosstab
explains the reason behind the relationship of two variables and the effect of one variable on the other variable. If the
Table compares data on only two variables, such table
is called Bivariate Table.

Parametric Test for Comparison


1.Independent T-test
Use: A t-test is used to compare the means of two independent groups. Independent groups
mean that different people are in each group.
Interpretation: If the p-value < 0.05, there is a significant difference between the means of
the two groups. Report the means of the two groups or the mean difference and confidence
interval from the SPSS output to describe the difference.
Sample Output in APA Style:
The first part of output gives the Descriptive

Group Statistics
Sex N Mean Std. Deviation Std. Error Mean
1 56 3.0727 .42536 .05684
Average
2 94 3.1455 .30410 .03137
This output gives the descriptive statistics for each of the two group (as defined by grouping variable). In this
example, there are 56 (1= Male) with the average of 3.0727, with the standard deviation of 0.42536. And there are
94 (2= Female) with an average of 3 .1455 and a standard deviation of 0.30410.

The column labeled Levene’s Test for Equality of Variances tell us whether an assumption of the t-test has been met.
Look at the column labeled Sig. under the heading Levene’s Test for Equality of Variances. In the Example above,
the significance (p value) of the Levene’s test is 0.026.

Note: If the p value is less than or equal to your α level for the test (usually .05), then you can reject the null
hypothesis that the variability of the two groups is equal, implying that the variances are unequal. If the p value is less
than or equal to the α level, then you should use the bottom row of the output (the row labeled "Equal variances not
assumed."). The column labeled “Sig.( 2-tailed)” gives the two tailed p value associated with the rest. In the
example, the p value is .265.

Interpretation: If the p-value < 0.05, there is a significant difference between the means of the two groups. Report the
means of the two groups or the mean difference and confidence interval from the SPSS output to describe the
difference.

2. One-Way Analysis of Variances(ANOVA)


Use: The One-way Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) is used to determine whether there are any statistically
significant differences between the means of two or more independent (unrelated) groups (although you tend to only
see it used when there are a minimum of three, rather than two groups).

This document and the information thereon is the property of Iloilo National High School- Senior High School. 2|Page
Interpretation: If the p-value < 0.05, there is a significant difference between the means of the two or more groups.
Report the means of the two groups or more groups the mean difference and confidence interval from the SPSS output
to describe the difference.

This output gives the descriptive statistics for each of the three groups (as defined by grouping variable). In this example, there are
4 (1= Upper Class Bracket) with the average of 2.950, with the standard deviation of 0.546, there are 94 (2= Middle Class
Bracket) with an average of2.728 and a standard deviation of 0.310 and there are 7 (3= Lower Class Bracket) with the average of
3.763, with the standard deviation of 0.34.

Note: If the p value is less than or equal to your α level for the test (usually .05), then you can reject the null hypothesis that the
variability of the two groups is equal, implying that the variances are unequal. If the p value is less than or equal to the α level, then
you should use the bottom row of the output (the row labeled "Equal variances not assumed."). The column labeled “Sig. (2-
tailed)” gives the two tailed p value associated with the rest. In the example, the p value is .265.
Interpretation: If the p-value < 0.05, there is a significant difference between the means of the two groups. Report the
means of the two groups or the mean difference and confidence interval from the SPSS output to describe the
difference
Parametric Test for Association
1.Pearson’s Correlation
Use: The Pearson’s Correlation utilized when you have two quantitative variables and you wish to see if there is a
linear relationship between those variables. Your research hypothesis would represent that by stating that one score
affects the other in a certain way. The correlation is affected by the size and sign of the r.
Interpretation: High degree: If the coefficient value lies between ± 0.50 and ± 1, then it is said to be a
strong correlation. Moderate degree: If the value lies between ± 0.30 and ± 0.49, then it is said to be a
medium correlation. Low degree: When the value lies below +. 29, then it is said to be a small correlation.

The Pearson correlation coefficient, r, is 0.706, and that it is statistically significant (p = 0.005). For interpreting
multiple correlations, see our enhanced Pearson’s guide.
A Pearson-product moment correlation was run to determine the relationship between height and distance jumped in
a long jump. There was a strong positive correlation between height and distance jumped, which was statistically
significant (r= .706, n=14, p= .005).

Draws conclusions from Research Findings

Concept Notes

Conclusion

- It contains insights drawn from the findings per sub-problem. It summarizes the principal features
of the study (Cristobal, 2017).
- This section gives a lasting impression about the paper. It is composed of four subsections: the
summary of findings; conclusion drawn; limitations of the study; and useful recommendations.
 Summary
- It briefly restates the major findings that correspond to each of the research questions or objectives.
Each research question or objective should be accompanied by its own summary of findings and
must be written in only one or two sentences.
- Strategies in writing the summary section:
a. Refrain from providing detailed figures or elaborating major findings. One short statement that
responds to each of the research questions/objectives is sufficient.
b. Avoid making interpretations and conclusions from findings.
c. Be direct and brief in writing your summary.
d. Refrain from introducing new data in your summary.
 Conclusions
- Discusses the generalizations, deductions and inferences that can be obtained from the findings.
- Each generalization or deduction that is written should be applicable to all of the findings.
Therefore, you need to have one conclusion that directly addresses your general research problem.
- It also explains how your findings address the gap you have identified in the introduction of your
paper.
- It also states the implications of your findings in terms of different aspects. The implications of
your findings relates to the different issues which can be looked into in accordance with your
findings. Implications can be classified as: practical, theoretical and methodological. Practical
implications relate to the issues in real-life contexts that can be addressed through the findings.
Theoretical implications relate to the issues concerning the support, refutation, and
supplementation of existing models and concepts in your field of study. Methodological
implications relate to the issues concerning materials and processes in research.
- Points to consider in writing the conclusion subsection:
a. Avoid merely summarizing your findings; instead, use your findings in making inferences.
b. Avoid making speculations by making sure that each conclusion is supported by proofs or data
that you have gathered.
c. State your conclusion briefly and clearly and shall already apply to your study as a whole.
d. Limit your conclusion to your participants.
e. Refrain from using numerals and figures in your conclusion.
f. Avoid using terms that imply doubt such as maybe, perhaps and possibly. Instead, you may
use the phrase “the evidence suggests…” in stating your conclusions.
 Limitation of the Study
- It refers to the factors that the researcher fails to control or use and can be addressed in subsequent
studies. It puts boundaries on the extensiveness of your findings and the strength of your
conclusions. It may include sampling problems, uncontrolled variables, errors in test
administration, generalizability of data, representativeness of samples, and reliability and validity
of research instruments.
- It pertains to the conditions that emerged in your research as it progressed, thus affecting the
applicability of your findings. It is not consciously set by the researcher.
- Guidelines in writing the limitations of the study:
a. Consider all types of limitations.
 Study design limitations- research being bound to specific methods or frameworks
 Impact limitations- implications of the study being confined to a specific population
 Data limitations- data gathered in the study being insufficient to have large-scale
implications.
b. Discuss why the limitation of your study exist. Explain how they can possibly impact your
findings and their interpretation.
c. Describe the alternatives that may have been used to address the limitations of your study.
Explain why these alternatives were not taken in the research.
d. Take note of other conventions in writing the limitations of your study. For instance, use the
present tense when presenting the limitations, since these were found after the research was
conducted.
