Week 4 Project- Regression and Correlation Methods: Correlation, ANOVA, and Least Squares

This is another way of assessing the possible association between a normally distributed variable y and a categorical variable x. These techniques are special cases of linear regression methods. The purpose of the assignment is to demonstrate methods of regression and correlation analysis in which two different variables in the same sample are related.

The following are three important statistics, or methodologies, for using correlation and regression:

· Pearson’s correlation coefficient

· ANOVA

· Least squares regression analysis

In this assignment, solve problems related to these three methodologies.

Part 1: Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient

For the problem that demonstrates the Pearson’s coefficient, you will use measures that represent characteristics of entire populations to describe disease in relation to some factor of interest, such as age; utilization of health services; or consumption of a particular food, medication, or other products. . Pearson’s correlation measures the relationship between two variables that are continuous and are often expressed as numbers using interval or ratio measurement. For example, the relationship between weight in pounds and systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading). To describe a pattern of mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD) in year X, hypothetical death rates from ten states were correlated with per capita cigarette sales in dollar amount per month. Death rates were highest in states with the most cigarette sales, lowest in those with the least sales, and intermediate in the remainder. Observation contributed to the formulation of the hypothesis that cigarette smoking causes fatal CHD. The correlation coefficient, denoted by r, is the descriptive measure of association in correlational studies.

Refer to following 
video on how to calculate Pearson’s correlation coefficient using SPSS:

Next, using SPSS:

· Calculate Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

· Create a two-way scatter plot.

In addition to the above:

· Explain the meaning of the resulting coefficient, paying particular attention to factors that affect the interpretation of this statistic, such as the normality of each variable.

· Provide a written interpretation of your results in APA format.

Part 2: ANOVA

Let’s take hypothetical data presenting blood pressure and high fat intake (less than 3 grams of total fat per serving) or low fat intake (less than 1 gram of saturated fat) of an individual.

Next, using SPSS:

· Calculate a one-way ANOVA to test the null hypothesis that the mean of each group is the same.

· Use different variables as grouping variables (
fat intake high 1; fat intake low 0) and compare the results.

· Calculate an 
F-test for an overall comparison of means to see whether any differences are significant.

In addition, in a Microsoft Word document, provide a written interpretation of your results in APA format.

Using SPSS:

· Apply least squares analysis to fit a regression line to the data.

· Calculate an F-test and a t-test to test for the significance of the regression.

· Test for goodness of fit using R2.

In addition, in a Microsoft Word document, provide a written interpretation of your results in APA format.
