Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data01:16

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data

487
Statistical inference techniques, paramount in hypothesis testing, differentiate into two broad categories: parametric and nonparametric statistics.
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance,...

Statistical Significance01:50

Statistical Significance

21.3K
Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...

Ogive Graph

6.8K
An ogive graph is sometimes called a cumulative frequency polygon. It is one type of frequency polygon that shows cumulative frequency. In other words, the cumulative percentages are added to the graph from left to right. An ogive graph plots cumulative frequency on the vertical y-axis and class boundaries along the horizontal x-axis. It’s very similar to a histogram; only instead of rectangles, an ogive displays a single point where the top right of the rectangle would be. Creating this...

Graphing Antiderivatives

66
The concept of an antiderivative is fundamental in calculus, describing how a function's values accumulate over time. This process is closely related to physical motion, such as the movement of a rolling ball. As the ball progresses, its position changes in response to variations in velocity, just as an antiderivative graph reflects the cumulative effect of the original function's values.Graphing an antiderivative requires interpreting how a function's values influence the shape of its...

Bar Graph

22.0K
A bar graph is also called a bar chart and consists of bars that are separated from each other. It either uses horizontal or vertical bars to show comparisons among categories. The bars can be rectangles, or they can be rectangular boxes (used in three-dimensional plots). One axis of the graph represents the specific categories being compared, and the other axis shows a discrete value. In this graph, the length of the bar for each category is proportional to the number or percent of individuals...

Graphs of Functions01:30

Graphs of Functions

321
Graphs of functions provide a visual representation of how output values change in response to varying inputs. Each point on the graph corresponds to an ordered pair, where the x-coordinate (independent variable) determines the horizontal position and the y-coordinate (dependent variable) determines the vertical position. Linear functions like y = x give a straight line, indicating a constant rate of change.Nonlinear functions display more complex behaviors. Even power functions generate...

Summary

Statistical reporting in the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB) has evolved over time, mirroring trends in psychology. However, changes in American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines did not directly influence JEAB practices.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral science
  • Psychology
  • Scientific publishing

Background:

  • Debates on p-values and data analysis have led to new statistical inference guidelines by the American Psychological Association (APA).
  • Changes in reporting results are evident in many scientific journals.
  • The impact of these shifts on the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB) remains unevaluated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze statistical and graphing practices in JEAB empirical articles from 1992 to 2017.
  • To determine if and how these practices changed over the evaluated period.
  • To compare JEAB trends with those in mainstream psychology journals.

Main Methods:

  • Content analysis of empirical articles published in JEAB between 1992 and 2017.
  • Tracking the frequency of null hypothesis significance testing, confidence intervals, and error bars in figures.
  • Assessing changes in graph features, specifically the proportion of single-subject data depictions.

Main Results:

  • The likelihood of reporting null hypothesis significance tests, confidence intervals, and error bars in figures has increased over time in JEAB.
  • Graph characteristics, such as the depiction of single-subject data, showed no systematic changes.
  • JEAB's statistical and graphing trends largely paralleled those in other psychology journals.

Conclusions:

  • JEAB's statistical and graphing practices have evolved, mirroring broader trends in scientific psychology.
  • There is no direct evidence that American Psychological Association (APA) style changes impacted JEAB.
  • Authors, reviewers, and editors must ensure continued evolution of statistical and graphing practices in JEAB while preserving its unique characteristics.
