  • Last in the series of statistical tests for biology. In this episode I go step-by-step through how to do a Spearman rank correlation test including:
    1. How to decide to do the test
    2. How to calculate correlation coefficient
    3. Determining the degrees of freedom and the critical value
    4. Making the conclusion.
    It's been a pleasure, guys. Hope these have been useful. As always leave a message for any questions or feedback you might have. Good luck!

    Dr bhasvar, can you please make a video on the structure of muscles and myofibrils and connective tissue, stuff like that ? It's part of the Edexcel specification and we'd be incredibly appreciative.

    Hello Sir. Near the end of the video after part c) of your conclusion shouldn't we state, in this case, a strong correlation present?
    Thanks for this video and the previous video on the statistical test you did on the whiteboard.

    Hi, i wanted to confirm whether we rank the values from highest to lowest or lowest to highest?

  • @amaan_hd9040

    So do we accept or reject the null hypothesis? And why?

    • @dessymarie7119
      @dessymarie7119 5 років тому

      Reject because the null hypothesis states there is no correlation and it was concluded that there is significant correlation

    Why would you use Spearman Rank correlation for this data instead of Pearson?

    hi, how do you get the chance or of error to be 5% or is that in the question?

    • @LSCBiology
      @LSCBiology  4 роки тому

      we always assume that as standard practise, UNLESS a different one is specified in the question.

  • @aradiwickramasinghe6585

    This was extremely useful but I have a problem, for spearman degree of freedom is given by set of data minus one and for Pearson's linear correlation degree of freedom is given by set of data minus 2, is it?

    • @LSCBiology
      @LSCBiology  3 роки тому +1

      they both actually should be number of pairs of data minus 2

    If summation D^2 =O what is ur conclusion regarding spearman rank coefficient

    • @LSCBiology
      @LSCBiology  3 роки тому +2

      if the d squared is zero, that means there are no differences between the paired values. that should result in a correlation coefficient of 1, and so a perfect positive correlation.

    If rank correlation r=0.8, summation of d squared value=3 then how to find n? Help me out .

    • @LSCBiology
      @LSCBiology  3 роки тому

      put r, and 'sum of d squares' into the equation, then rearrange the equation to make 'n' the subject.

    Degrees of freedom, isn't that number of samples minus 1, not the actual number of samples?

  • @apatchy0664
    @apatchy0664 4 роки тому

    In the textbook it gives the lowest number a rank of 1 but you’ve given the highest number a rank of 1....I’m confused!

    • @LSCBiology
      @LSCBiology  4 роки тому +1

      good question. you can do it either way, as long as you're consistent for both datasets, it won't affect the R value.
