When Linear Models Don’t Fit Your Data, Now What?

June 20, 2022

When your dependent variable is not continuous, unbounded, and measured on an interval or ratio scale, linear models don’t fit. The data just will not meet the assumptions of linear models. But there’s good news, other models exist for many types of dependent variables. Today I’m going to go into more detail about 6 common […]

What Is Specification Error in Statistical Models?

June 8, 2022

When we think about model assumptions, we tend to focus on assumptions like independence, normality, and constant variance. The other big assumption, which is harder to see or test, is that there is no specification error. The assumption of linearity is part of this, but it’s actually a bigger assumption. What is this assumption of […]

Member Training: Analyzing Pre-Post Data

May 31, 2022

Recommendations on how to analyze pre-post data can vary. Typical recommendations include regression analysis or matched pairs analysis for within subject studies and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) or linear mixed effects model analysis for within and between subject studies.

The Difference Between an Odds Ratio and a Predicted Odds

May 20, 2022

When interpreting the results of a regression model, the first step is to look at the regression coefficients. Each term in the model has one. And each one describes the average difference in the value of Y for a one-unit difference in the value of the predictor variable, X, that makes up that term. It’s […]

Measures of Model Fit for Linear Regression Models

May 9, 2022

A well-fitting regression model results in predicted values close to the observed data values. The mean model, which uses the mean for every predicted value, generally would be used if there were no useful predictor variables. The fit of a proposed regression model should therefore be better than the fit of the mean model.

Three Principles of Experimental Designs

April 19, 2022

If you analyze non-experimental data, is it helpful to understand experimental design principles? Yes, absolutely! Understanding experimental design can help you recognize the questions you can and can’t answer with the data. It will also help you identify possible sources of bias that can lead to undesirable results. Finally, it will help you provide recommendations […]
