Tan, Teck Kiang – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2023
Researchers often have hypotheses concerning the state of affairs in the population from which they sampled their data to compare group means. The classical frequentist approach provides one way of carrying out hypothesis testing using ANOVA to state the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the means and proceed with multiple comparisons…

Bonifay, Wes; Depaoli, Sarah – Prevention Science, 2023
Statistical analysis of categorical data often relies on multiway contingency tables; yet, as the number of categories and/or variables increases, the number of table cells with few (or zero) observations also increases. Unfortunately, sparse contingency tables invalidate the use of standard goodness-of-fit statistics. Limited-information fit…

Fávero, Luiz Paulo; Souza, Rafael de Freitas; Belfiore, Patrícia; Corrêa, Hamilton Luiz; Haddad, Michel F. C. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2021
In this paper is proposed a straightforward model selection approach that indicates the most suitable count regression model based on relevant data characteristics. The proposed selection approach includes four of the most popular count regression models (i.e. Poisson, negative binomial, and respective zero-inflated frameworks). Moreover, it…

Coetzee, Bronwynè; Kagee, Ashraf – Africa Education Review, 2021
In psychology departments in South Africa, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) is routinely used for quantitative analysis.

The programming language R can perform…
