Project Guidelines

Your final project assignment requires that you:

1. explore sources of data for your project - see links below,

2. identify and develop specific questions you wish to answer,

3. familiarize yourself with how the data you are using were collected and the limitations, if any, concerning the database.

I recommend that you begin by first exploring the databases to see what data are available and to begin thinking about the topics you are interested in and that you can develop questions about. For example, age specific mortality rates by state, region, gender, ethnicity, population density, year, etc. You may find that your research questions become more focused as you explore the databases and see what data are available. Once you begin to develop your questions you will need to begin identifying the appropriate statistics you'll need to apply to the data in order to answer your questions. In addition, you should begin to search for primary references (peer reviewed journal articles) for your topic. For example, I may initially ask whether access to special education services differs between states. The null statistical hypothesis would be that access doesn't differ between states and the alternative would be that it does differ. As I explore the database I will come to realize that this question will result in me trying to compare single values between each state (%receiving services) and so there is no statistic I can use. This often happens and so don't feel discouraged. You just need to revise your questions. I may then need to revise my question - such as, does access to these services differ between large urban centers and rural areas. Now I can do a literature search to see what researchers have found relating to my topic/questions.Next, I could then pool data for urban centers and rural areas across a state, or, if still resulting in a small sample size, I could pool data for these two categories across all states. At this point I would then consider using a t-test to compare mean proportion of children receiving services in urban and rural areas. When applying the t-test, I would have to test for equal variances and normality, state my null and alternative hypotheses, indicate whether it is a one-tail or two-tail test, and be sure to relate the statistical findings back to the question I was asking (summarize the findings as they relate back to your question).

A minimum of four statistical tests (not including tests for normality and equal variance) must be included in your report. For example, you may be interested in age specific mortality rates by state in the United States. Age would be your one category and your sample for each age would be the state specific mortality rates. This would be a one-way or one-factor ANOVA. If you also wished to consider the influence of ethnicity you could then run a second analysis with two categorical variables (AGE and ETHNICITY). This would be a two-way ANOVA.
