Hi all,
I am trying to educate my colleagues about some things and would like to ask
you some questions as you are members of a talented and learned society.
I am aware of the controversy so am interested in what I would consider
common knowledge so, if you respond, please do so without consulting a
stats text.
Feel free to answer off list.
What are the different types of data (nominal, ordinal, etc.)?
For each data type, list what types of statistical measures you can
compute for each.
Which data type do Likert style data fall into (responses using phrases
like Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neither Agree nor Disagree, Agree,
Strongly Agree even if you identify these responses with a number)?
Comments or questions?
Thanks,
Paul
