can someone explain to me UNIVARIATE and BIVARIATE analyses?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Simple univariate means one variable meaning we are analyzing only one varying factor and bivariate means there are 2 variables and we are analyzing 2 varying factors.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which factors?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give me examples?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Ok so basically a simple example of univariate is just studying average height of men. So the variable would be the height of y amt of men and then from that information we can determine the average height of men

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok gotcha and bivariate?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Ok now bivariate is basically 2 variables and we usually would like to see if these 2 variables have any connection or relationship

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 variables as in like wut?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

So the 2 variables are age and wage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Uni: What percent of Minnesotans reported smoking cigarettes in the past 30 days? Variable - minnosotans that smoke Bi:Is there a difference in smoking behavior between males and females in Minnesota? Variables : Males And Females are divided into 2 groups

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gotcha

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Ok I made up the variables but you can see that bivariate is analyzing 2 groups while univariate is only one group

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i do so is it more complex in my stats version of this?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Ok the chi square test is just a test. You just gotta follow the steps. Its not that difficult. I have never used cramer so I cant help you with that but here is a link to clearly explain this topic http://math.hws.edu/javamath/ryan/ChiSquare.html
