4 binary vars and moi

2000-08-03 Thread sundor96
Have some more survey data. 4 dichotomous variables involving a deadly force survey, so vars like resist arrest or not, felony or not, death or not. And my haunting 7-point Likert scale of Reasonable to really Unreasonable use of deadly force. Now it gets worse. The person who designed the st

In doing a factorial survey, the first 70 or so respondents used a very narrow range of the 1 to 7 Likert scale, mostly 6's and 7's, seldom going below 5. This pilot study is using students who agree to fill out a 15 minute survey. What would you suggest to discern a very narrow range, where m

Random numbers from 1 to 16

2000-06-09 Thread sundor96
What would be the simplest and solid way to generate random numbers from 1 to 16 only? I don't have any compilers or languages handy except for an APL interpreter that's quite old but still powerful and BASIC that comes with the DOS operating system. I gather there must be some code to do a s

Randomization missed in factorial surveys

2000-06-07 Thread sundor96
If the following factorial survey was performed: 192 dimensions with 200 respondents answering 10 vignettes each. So, each vignette would have about 10 responses. The problem is that the dimensions were not randomized on the vignettes. If there were correlations between some of the dimensions, th
