    Hi All -- Thank you for all the wonderful comments! Because of the overwhelming response, I will gladly make more videos and put them online. Any requests as to what topics to cover next?
    Why did I disappear for four years? I made this video on a whim while I was waiting for my thesis defense, and then life got busy and I never checked it again. I moved and got a new job and just forgot all about it until now. Kind of a lame excuse, but there it is.
    Also, this is perhaps the first time I've seen a page of youtube comments that wasn't a cesspool of vitriol -- clearly we have a very classy set of viewers!

      I agree with Amandeep, multiple regression would be amazing! Also, please do a video on ANOVA to add onto your video of the t-test.

  • @SidneyGeez
    @SidneyGeez 10 років тому +8

    I'm probably being stupid and missing something really obvious, but at the end when you talk about writing t-test results, you say that that the degrees of freedom (99) is the sample size minus 1. I though that in this case degrees of freedom would be 2n minus 2 (n being the number of participants in each group, i.e. tetesterol group and placebo group. So it would be 100 minus 2, making the degrees of freedom 98. That's what I've been taught. Or at least I think it is :/
    Again I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something and have this wrong, but if someone could explain that would be awesome.
    Great video by the way! Very helpful.

    • @StatsCast
      @StatsCast  10 років тому +12

      Hi Francis -- good question, and I wasn't entirely clear here -- my mistake. DF is the sample size minus one for each sample. So in an independent samples t-test, which has two samples, it would be N+N-1-1. For a paired-sample and one-sample t-test, it would be N-1.

      I was confused at first, too. Assume all participants from the control and Tetesterol group had their cholesterol levels taken before the experiment. Then after that month of the experiment, they compared the before and after differences within the control group itself. And also, compared the before and after within the Tetesterol group.

    • @samramdani258
      @samramdani258 4 роки тому +2

      Neither the calculation nor the raw values needed to do the calculation are shown here, but if I remember correctly from my college days, it's calculated by averaging the difference between each data point and the mean. So in group 1 the mean is 34: imagine patients had a cholesterol level of 22, 30, 32, 34, 36, and 40. That would mean each patient's difference from the mean would be -12, -4, -2, 2, and 6. If we add those all up and divide by the number of patients, we get... Oh hang on.... I think this rudimentary method doesn't account for the difference between positive and negative values, so you have to square each difference and then square root the resulting mean? I can't remember, I give up.

    Yes. For a Chi squared test the degrees of freedom is equal to the number of possible outcomes minus one. So if you are rolling dice, you can have 6 possible outcomes. 5 would be the degrees of freedom. For the T-test it is the sample size minus one.
