Spearman Rank Correlation Analysis using Agri Analyze

Image
 The blog is about Spearman Rank Correlation theory, when to use, calculation along with formulas, testing its significance, solved example and step by step guide for Agri Analyze (Reading time 10 mins)  Correlation is a statistical measure that quantifies the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. For example, it can be used to assess whether there is a connection between the heights of fathers and their sons.  There are two primary types of correlation analysis: Parametric Correlation: This method, often using Pearson's correlation coefficient (r), measures the linear relationship between numerical variables. It assumes a specific distribution of the data. Non-Parametric Correlation: Employing techniques like Kendall's tau or Spearman's rho, these methods analyze the relationship between variables based on their ranks rather than their actual values. They are suitable for categorical data or ordinal (rank) data and do not require assumption...

Pearson Correlation Made Easy: A Practical Guide with Agri Analyze

Image
 The blog is about Pearson correlation theory, properties, formulas of calculation, testing of correlation, solved example and step by step guide to perform correlation in Agri Analyze tool. Quiz of correlation is also shared (Reading time 12 mins) Correlation refers to a statistical measure that describes the extent to which two variables change together. It is the degree of linear relationship between two continuous variables in a bivariate distribution. It is a way to quantify the degree to which two variables are related.  Correlation can be positive (both variables increase or decrease together), negative (one variable increases while the other decreases), or zero (no relationship between the variables). The correlation coefficient, typically denoted as r and it ranges from -1 to 1: Where, r = 1 indicates perfect positive correlation              r = -1 indicates perfect negative correlation             ...

Strip Plot Analysis with Agri Analyze: From Basics to Solved Examples

Image
The blog contains basics of strip plot design, randomization, ANOVA model, all the formulas and solved example along with demonstration in Agri Analyze. (Reading time 15 min.) The Strip Plot Design (SPD) is particularly suitable for two-factor experiments where higher precision is needed for measuring the interaction effect between the factors compared to measuring the main effects of either factor individually. This design is also ideal when both sets of treatments require large plots. For instance, in experiments involving spacing and ploughing treatments, cultural convenience necessitates larger plots. Ploughing strips can be arranged in one direction, and spacing strips can be laid out perpendicular to the ploughing strips. This arrangement is achieved using: Vertical strip plot for the first factor (the vertical factor) Horizontal strip plot for the second factor (the horizontal factor) Interaction plot for the interaction between the two factors. The vertical and horizontal...
