Basic Social Statistic for AL Geography HO Pui-sing Content Level of Measurement (Data Types) Normal Distribution Measures of central tendency Dependent and independent variables Correlation coefficient Spearman’s Rank Reilly’s Break-point / Reilly’s Law Linear Regression Level of Measurement Nominal Scale: Eg. China, USA, HK,……. Ordinal Scale: Eg. Low, Medium, High, Very High,…. Interval Scale: Eg. 27oC, 28oC, 29oC,….. Ratio Scale Eg. $20, $30, $40,….. Normal distribution Measures of central tendency Use a value to represent a central tendency of a group of data. Mode: Most Frequent Median: Middle Mean: Arithmetic Average Mode: Most Frequent Median: Middle Mean: Arithmetic Average Dependent and Independent variables Dependent variables: value changes according to another variables changes. Independent variables: Value changes independently. Scattergram Correlation Coefficient The correlation coefficient (r) indicates the extent to which the pairs of numbers for these two variables lie on a straight line. (linear relationship) Range of (r): -1 to +1 Perfect positive correlation: +1 Perfect negative correlation: -1 No correlation: 0.0 Correlation Coefficient Correlation Coefficient Correlation Coefficient Correlation Coefficient Spearman’s Rank 史皮爾曼等級相關係數 Compare the rankings on the two sets of scores. It may also be a better indicator that a relationship exists between two variables when the relationship is non-linear. Range of (r): -1 to +1 Perfect positive correlation: +1 Perfect negative correlation: -1 No correlation: 0.0 Spearman’s Rank Spearman’s Rank Spearman’s Rank (Examples) The following table shows the SOI in the month of October and the number of tropical cyclones in the Australian region from 1970 to 1979.
