If you want to approach this using hypothesis testing, what is the null hypothesis? No shift in preference? No systematic shift in preference? (Given the strong initial preference, I'm not sure what a "non-systematic shift" would look like.) The best statistical technique might be "point and

Don,I'm no stats guru, but I'll throw this out as a way to characterize the bird's behavior with respect to probability:It seems to me that "chance" in this situation would be defined by the bird's normal feeding behavior. So, if you know how often (before your manipulation) it goes to the right fi

I'm sure that this would work if I had more Ss. However, with an N of 1 wouldn't that leave me with 0 degrees of freedom? I'm not sure that's possible. That's what I wasn't sure about. So maybe time-series analysis, which SAS does in PROC ARIMA? --David --- You are currently subscribed to tip

Normally I don't like "top posting" (leaving several screensful of quoted material at the bottom of one's post), but it seems expedient here. You've got repeated measures on a binary dependent variable, and what that suggests to me is that you want to use either a GEE (generalized estimating equa

Hi Tipsters- I need some advice on the best statistic to use. I'm doing some work that's outside of my normal area. I'm collaborating with a colleague in the Biology department and we're investigating learning in Raptors. In particular, red-tailed hawks. So far we have preliminary data on only one

I agree with Bob. My mentors required their students to perform four-way ANOVAs with repeated measures by hand. Our office area was frequently visited by students from other areas that would bring computer printouts from their disseration research for interpretation. I always thought that the p

Just a comment. There are two issues here. One is, do test scores predict performance for the subset of students admitted? The other is, do test scores predict which students should be admitted? You don't have further data on the students screened out, which affects your ability to test the

I have been asked by the VP to look at the validity of the screening tests used by the English and Math Departments. The general idea is to look at the scores on the two tests and see how well they predict subsequent grades. Another task would be to compare the grades students get in English 1
