Lab Sta680 Week 8

The document presents a statistical analysis of information processing skills, comprehension levels, and arithmetic abilities among 174 children, including data visualization and descriptive statistics. It discusses the distribution of age groups, identifies missing data, and examines univariate outliers, concluding that the data is trivariate normally distributed. MANOVA is applied to test for significant differences across age groups, ultimately finding no significant differences in the mean vectors of the variables.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.0 Introduction

4.1 Data visualization of age groups of 174 children

Figure displays distribution of age groups of 174 children. Majority of children belongs to the
group 3 (37.93%), followed by group 2 (31.62%), group 1 (25.88%) and group 0 (4.60%)
respectively…

Figure 2 depicts the distribution of age groups of 174 children. It is observed that majority of
the children belong to group 3 (37.93%), followed by group 2, group 1 and group 0
respectively.

4.2 Data descriptive of independent variables

Table 1 provides the descriptive statistics of information levels, comprehension level and
arithmetic ability of 174 children. Across all variables, comprehension level (9.99) has the
highest mean followed by information level (9.47) and arithmetic level (8.98) respectively.

4.3 Data pre-processing

4.3.1 Determination of Missing Data

Table 2 shows that there are no missing data across the three variables belongings of 174
children.

N Percent N Percent N Percent
Information 174 100.0% 0 0.0% 174 100.0%
Comprehension 174 100.0% 0 0.0% 174 100.0%
Arithmetic 174 100.0% 0 0.0% 174 100.0%
4.3.2 Detection of Univariate Outlier

Table 3 provides the summary of Q-Q plots and boxplots of all independent variables. Across
arithmetic level (X1), there are possible outliers as on the higher sides of values from both
diagrams. Across Q-Q plots, 4 values seem to be deviating from the straight line. Meanwhile,
from the box plots, several extreme values are observed on the higher tail of boxplot.

(continue interpret for X2 and X3)

4.3.2.1 Treatment of Univariate Outlier

Table 4 provides the summary of univariate outliers across three independent variables.
Across information level, score belonging to child 136 with score of 19 has z value equivalent
to 3.29 9more than +3). Therefore, 95th percentile of 14 was used to replace the original value.

2. Set significance level (𝜶 = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟓), find critical chi-squared value at v=p

3. Calculate Mahalanobis Distance for each data and compare with critical value

4. Altogether there are 𝟏𝟕𝟒 % = 53%

Since Mahalanobis Distance is 53% more than 50%, we fail to reject 𝐻0

5. We can conclude that the data is trivariate normally distributed


4.4 MANOVA Application

4.4.1 Descriptive of multiple variables across 4 age group of 174 children

The summary of group means vectors:

Let 𝑥̅1 = the mean of group 1 based on X1, X2 and X3


9.63
= (10.63)
9.00
Let 𝑥̅2 = the mean of group 2 based on X1, X2 and X3
8.73
= (9.36)
8.96
Let 𝑥̅3 = the mean of group 3 based on X1, X2 and X3
10.18
= (10.45)
8.84
Let 𝑥̅4 = the mean of group 4 based on X1, X2 and X3
9.36
= (9.97)

4.4.2 Testing the equality of variance covariance matrices across 4 different age
groups.

Reject 𝜌 < 𝛼 = 0.05

Since 𝜌 = 0.064 > 0.05, 𝑑𝑜 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝐻0

At 𝛼 = 0.05, all of variance covariance matrices are the same across 4 age group. Therefore,

MANOVA application can proceed on this multivariate data.


4.4.2.3 Testing of significant differences between the four group mean vectors based
on three variables

𝐻0 : 𝜇1 = 𝜇2 = 𝜇3 = 𝜇4

𝐻1 : 𝐴𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝜇𝑖𝑗 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟

𝛼 = 0.05

𝜌 = 0.219

Reject 𝜌 < 𝛼 = 0.05

Since 𝜌 = 0.064 > 0.05, 𝑑𝑜 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝐻0

At 𝛼 = 0.05, we can conclude that


*No need to do Bonferroni test if we fail to reject 𝐻0
4.4.2.4 Profile Plots

There are 3 patterns to check.

1. Are the profiles parallel?


Test for parallel profiles:

𝐻0 : 𝜇1𝑖 − 𝜇1,𝑖−1 = 𝜇2𝑖 − 𝜇2,𝑖−1 , 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑖 = 2, … . , 𝑝

𝐻1 : 𝐴𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝜇𝑖𝑗 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟

2. Are the profiles coincident?


Test for coincident profiles:

𝐻0 : 𝜇1𝑖 = 𝜇2𝑖 , 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑖 = 1, … . , 𝑝

𝐻1 : 𝐴𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝜇𝑖𝑗 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟

3. Are the profiles level (flat)?


Test for level (flat) profiles:

𝐻0 : 𝜇1𝑖 = 𝜇2𝑖 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑖 = 1, … . , 𝑝

𝐻1 : 𝐴𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝜇𝑖𝑗 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟
