NCSS includes the mode and its frequency as part of its Means Section of the Descriptive Statistics report (also all of the usual centrality measure parameter estimates, i.e. mean, median, geometric mean, harmonic mean, etc). Tom G. dennis roberts wrote: > i use minitab and it does not display

Brett: In addition to everything else you do, be sure to track data for individual cases. If there is an underlying function (e.g. steady decline followed by precipitous drop), averging data will obscure the function. I remember seeing discrimination learning curves from grouped data that used

Studying Retention of Knowledge and Skills

2000-02-29 Thread Magill, Brett
I am planning to design a study of an educational program. Of interest is the decay over time of knowledge and skills learned through the program. Specifically, we want to know if there is a point in time when the rate of decay changes (a steady drop turns into a crash). In addition, we want to

SPSS has a statistic that displays the mode. In fact, you can display it and not the frequency table. Karen Scheltema, M.A., M.S. Statistician North Memorial Health Care Quality Resources Dept. 3300 Oakdale Ave N Robbinsdale, MN 55422 (612) 520-2744(612) 520-4686 (fax) [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
