Correlation

In previous blog we discussed about the measure central tendency and Dispersion to use to study the variable. the correlation is a statistical concept that allows us to measure and understand the relationship between two or more variables. it provided a valuable information about that variables. e.g. price and demand of commodity, income and expenditure of family, height and weight of group of persons. their we use the relation between this two variables. in above examples we see the one variable increases other variable is also changes in same or opposite direction.

definition: Correlation is statistical tool which study the relationship between two or more variables. for analysis of correlation various method and techniques are used.

example: i. Demand and supply of product ii. price and demand iii. Income and expenditure

Use Of Correlation:

the correlation analysis is widely used in economic, business and other fields.

i. To Predict: if we know the relation between two variables, we can estimate the value of them when value of other is known. e.g. we know the correlation between height and weight then we calculate the weight for known value of height.

ii. To control: The correlation also enables us to control our activity. e.g. we know the correlation between fertilizer and crop, then we control the yield and life of the crop, (use of more fertilizer is hazard to crop.

iii. To Plan: the knowledge of correlation help to planning. e.g. if we know the relation between the rainfall and yield of crop, then we know the rainfall we calculate the yield of crop, depend on the yield of crop we plan for import and export.

Types of Correlation:

i. Positive and Negative Correlation

ii. Linear and non-liner Correlation.

iii, simple, Multiple and Partial Correlation.

Positive correlation: If both the variables changes in same direction i.e. if one variable increases other variable also increases or if the one variable decreases then other variable also decreases, the correlation is said to be positive correlation. e.g. i. height and weight mean height is increases weight also increases.

Negative Correlation: if the both variables are changes in opposite direction i.e. if one variable increases other variable decreases or if the one variable decreases then other variable also increases. e.g. price and demand mean the price increases demand is decreases.

the difference between the positive and negative correlation depends on the direction of change of two variables.

when change in one variable is not affected on other variable it is no correlation between two variables.

Linear Correlation: this type of correlation is based on the nature of the graph of two variables. if the graph is straight line the correlation is Linear correlation.

if the graph is not a straight line but is curve is called Non-Linear Correlation.

Simple Correlation: we study only two variable say price and demand it is simple correlation.

Multiple Correlation: we study more than two variables is called multiple correlation.

Partial Correlation: we study the more than two variables but correlation is studied between two variables only, and the effect of the other variable is assumed as constant.

Methods of studying Correlation:

I. Graphical method : Scatter Diagram

II. Mathematical Method:

i. Karl Pearson Coefficient of correlation 'r'

ii. Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient 'R'

i. Scatter diagram: scatter diagram is a graph showing correlation between two variable. the N pair of values (x1,y1), (x2,y2) .....(xn,yn) of two variables x and y are plotted on the graph or XY plane we get the points or dot's on graph and they are generally scattered so it is called scatter diagram or dot diagram.

the scatter point show the direction and degree of correlation between x and y or any two variable the direction of correlation is denoted as + or -sign and degree by r.

from the scattered diagram we interpret the degree and direction of correlation.

Interpretation of scatter diagram :

i. if the graph shows all the point lie on a rising straight line towards the right, the correlation is perfect positive and r = +1 e.g. correlation between age and height of children , their is strong correlation between age and height , as children grow older they get taller and this relationship is quite linear in their growth phases. we see the graph

ii. if the graph shows all the point lie in falling straight line towards the right, the correlation s perfect negative and r=-1.e.g. the correlation between price and demand if price increases demand decreases.

iii. if all the points lies in narrow strip which rise towards right. Then the correlation is high degree positive correlation, i.e. 08<r>1.

iv. if all the points lie in narrow strip which rise towards left, then the correlation is high –ve correlation it is -1<r>-0.8

v. if all point rise on broad line or strip rising towards the right the correlation is low degree positive correlation.

vi. if all point rise on broad line or strip rising towards the left the correlation is low degree positive correlation.

vii. if all point are scattered without any pattern, then there is no correlation, i.e. r=0.

Merit and demerit:

Merit:

i. It is very easy to draw.

ii. It is easy to understand.

iii. It gives quick idea about the correlation between variables.

Demerits:

i. It is not used for mathematical calculation.

ii. It no measure the degree of correlation.

iii. It is not suitable when values are large.

Example 1. To draw a scatter diagram & indicate whether correlation is positive or negative.

Price:	17	18	19	21	25	26	30
Supply:	30	37	36	42	50	51	54

To draw scattered diagram we plot the price on x –axis and supply on y-axis. Then we get a scatted diagram.

From this diagram we see the the point are rising hence it is high positive correlation.

Statistical Inference II Notes

Likelihood Ratio Test

Statistical Inference: Basic Terms and Definitions.

📚📖 Statistical Inference: Basic Terms. The theory of estimation is of paramount importance in statistics for several reasons. Firstly, it allows researchers to make informed inferences about population characteristics based on limited sample data. Since it is often impractical or impossible to measure an entire population, estimation provides a framework to generalize findings from a sample to the larger population. By employing various estimation methods, statisticians can estimate population parameters such as means, proportions, and variances, providing valuable insights into the population's characteristics. Second, the theory of estimating aids in quantifying the estimates' inherent uncertainty. Measures like standard errors, confidence intervals, and p-values are included with estimators to provide an idea of how accurate and reliable the estimates are. The range of possible values for the population characteristics and the degree of confidence attached to those est...

Index Number

Index Number Introduction We seen in measures of central tendency the data can be reduced to a single figure by calculating an average and two series can be compared by their averages. But the data are homogeneous then the average is meaningful. (Data is homogeneous means data in same type). If the two series of the price of commodity for two years. It is clear that we cannot compare the cost of living for two years by using simple average of the price of the commodities. For that type of problem we need type of average is called Index number. Index number firstly defined or developed to study the effect of price change on the cost of living. But now days the theory of index number is extended to the field of wholesale price, industrial production, agricultural production etc. Index number is like barometers to measure the change in change in economics activities. An index may be defined as a " specialized average designed to measure the...

Basic Concepts of Probability and Binomial Distribution , Poisson Distribution.

Probability: Basic concepts of Probability: Probability is a way to measure hoe likely something is to happen. Probability is number between 0 and 1, where probability is 0 means is not happen at all and probability is 1 means it will be definitely happen, e.g. if we tossed coin there is a 50% chance to get head and 50% chance to get tail, it can be represented in probability as 0.5 for each outcome to get head and tail. Probability is used to help us taking decision and predicting the likelihood of the event in many areas, that are science, finance and Statistics. Now we learn the some basic concepts that used in Probability: i) Random Experiment OR Trail: A Random Experiment is an process that get one or more possible outcomes. examples of random experiment include tossing a coin, rolling a die, drawing a card from pack of card etc. using this we specify the possible outcomes known as sample pace. ii)Outcome: An outcome is a result of experi...

Statistical Inference I ( Theory of Estimation) : Unbiased it's properties and examples

📚Statistical Inference I Notes The theory of estimation invented by Prof. R. A. Fisher in a series of fundamental papers in around 1930. Statistical inference is a process of drawing conclusions about a population based on the information gathered from a sample. It involves using statistical techniques to analyse data, estimate parameters, test hypotheses, and quantify uncertainty. In essence, it allows us to make inferences about a larger group (i.e. population) based on the characteristics observed in a smaller subset (i.e. sample) of that group. Notation of parameter: Let x be a random variable having distribution function F or f is a population distribution. the constant of distribution function of F is known as Parameter. In general the parameter is denoted as any Greek Letters as θ. now we see the some basic terms : i. Population : in a statistics, The group of individual under study is called Population. the population is may be a group of obj...

Median test

Non- Parametric test Median test Median test is also a Non-Parametric test and it is alternative to Parametric T test. The median test is used when we are interested to check the two independent sample have same median or not. It is useful when data is discrete or continuous and if data is in small size. Assumptions: I) the variable under study is ordinal scale II) the variable is random and Independent. The stepwise procedure for computation of median test for two independent sample : Step I :- firstly we define the hypothesis Null Hypothesis is the two independent sample have same median. Against Alternative Hypothesis is the two independent sample have different median. Step II :- In this step we combine two sample data. And calculating the median of combined data. Step III :- after that for testing hypothesis we constructing the (2x2) contingency table. For that table we divide the sample into two parts as number of observation above and below to the ...

Non- Parametric Test: Run Test

Non- Parametric Test A Non-Parametric tests is a one of the part of Statistical tests that non-parametric test does not assume any particular distribution for analyzing the variable. unlike the parametric test are based on the assumption like normality or other specific distribution of the variable. Non-parametric test is based on the rank, order, signs, or other non-numerical data. we know both test parametric and non-parametric, but when use particular test? answer is that if the assumption of parametric test are violated such as data is not normally distributed or sample size is small. then we use Non-parametric test they can used to analyse categorical data or ordinal data and data are obtained form in field like psychology, sociology and biology. For the analysis use the some non-parametric test that are Wilcoxon signed-ranked test, mann-whiteny U test, sign test, Run test, Kruskal-wallis test. but the non-parametric test have lower statistical power than ...
