RE: [tips] Hey! Good At Problem Solving? Maybe You Can Win A Prize!

2012-03-01 Thread Michael Palij
This is how I see it:

(1)  Get bunches of different sized animals and calculate
the size and weight of the animals (I write "size" because
one would probably want a single number that reflects
height, width, and depth).

(2) Calculate the correlation across species of "size" and
weight.  Determine for which species the correlation is large
and for which it small/weak.

(3)  Using a examples from different bunches of animals,
has a person use magnitude estimation to guess the weight.
Compare estimates made for animals where the correlation is
strong and animals where the correlation is weak.

(4)  Step 3 above should indicate how much error there is
in the estimates for the two groups of animals, which would
suggest a "correction" or "fudge" factor that is added/subtracted
from the initial estimate.  NOTE: first establish how precise
the weight estimate has to be, that is, what is an acceptable
error margin.

Just a starting point but I have the feeling that men and women
have been sizing each other up for a lng time and
they might be reasonably accurate at estimating weight. :-)

One could also interview the carnies who guess weights at
sideshows about how they do it but they might not want to
give such secrets away.;-)

RE: [tips] Simulation of Marie's "Funny" Correlations

2012-03-01 Thread Rick Froman
The other difficulty with the scatterplots is, when you are correlating two 
5-point scales, there are a limited number of xy coordinates on the scatterplot 
and various numbers of cases can be hiding under each score. Marie's 
scatterplots evidenced some attempt to illustrate the number of cases at each 
coordinate (with bolding and some random spread of the plotted dots) but it 
still isn't as clear as it would be with a more continuous scale. So, some 
method of illustrating the number of cases at each coordinate would be helpful 
in seeing the pattern that resulted in an overall negative correlation from two 
separate subgroups with positive correlations.

One thing that will make this pattern clear is including the three trendlines 
or lines of best fit with both individual data sets and the overall combined 
set. This will show the clear barbell pattern with the overall trendline going 
from upper left to lower right and each individual Red and Blue trendline going 
from lower left to upper right intersecting the overall trendline at different 
points (the Blue at a higher point on the y-axis on the overall negative 
trendline than the Red).

Plotting the red mean xy coordinate (which is near the center of the plot) and 
the blue mean xy coordinate (which is closer to the upper left hand corner of 
the plot) will also show how offset the two groups are.

Red Blue
X   2.952.22
Y   3.1 4.31

I think you need to look at the scatterplot of the entire data set with each 
group identified with a different color or symbol. That should help. But, with 
small correlations, it can be tough.
