|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What is nominal? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | order, but no magnitude. A,B,C,D but has no significant value. has values that are ranked so that inferences can be made regarding the magnitude. However, ordinal data has no fixed interval between values.
🗑
|
||||
| show | order and magnitude, temperature degree
🗑
|
||||
| What is Ratio Order? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Average
🗑
|
||||
| show | middle number best for skewed data
🗑
|
||||
| show | Most frequent number in a set.
🗑
|
||||
| What is a range? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | comparing data (i.e. comparing the city population witht the county populaton).
🗑
|
||||
| What is a cohurt method? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Using builder permit or electrical connection data.
🗑
|
||||
| When a location quotient is greaten than 1 what does that mean? | show 🗑
|
||||
| While in some cases we want to know the central tendency of a dataset, in other cases we want to know the extent to which data differs from each other. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Variance, Variance is a descriptor of a probability distribution, how far the numbers lie from the mean.
🗑
|
||||
| is the square root of the variance. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Standard Errors, Standard errors indicate the degree of sampling fluctuation. The larger the sample size the smaller the standard error.
🗑
|
||||
| gives an estimated range of values which is likely to include an unknown population parameter. | show 🗑
|
||||
| is a non-parametric test statistic that provides a measure of the amount of difference between two frequency distributions. | show 🗑
|
||||
| Which is a detailed, very accu¬rate, method for making short term population projections that can handle multiple variables | show 🗑
|
||||
| is the difference between the number of children born and the number of people who die during one time interval. Migration and Natural increase are basically part of the Cohort-Survival method. | show 🗑
|
||||
| The term relates to a level of "consensus", where policy options are accepted short of 100 percent agreement. This type of consensus can be used in meeting facilitation and in the formulation of "alternatives" in long-range planning programs. | show 🗑
|
||||
| technique allocates a portion of the projected expansion to sub-regions or population centers based on the center's present share of the employment. | show 🗑
|
||||
| A statistic that provides an estimate of one variable based upon other variables | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | is one that is symmetrical around the mean. This is a bell curve.
🗑
|
||||
| A variable where the value is fixed or static. | show 🗑
|
||||
| The assignment of numbers of symbols for the purpose of designating subclasses that represent unique characteristics. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Ordinal scale.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Interval scale.
🗑
|
||||
| ordered relations of some characteristic with the ability to determine differences and an absolute zero point. | show 🗑
|
||||
| In population projections this type of method compares the study area (city) to a larger study area (state). | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Use a heterogeneous population
🗑
|
||||
| What can be described as a measure of dispersion around the mean that is calculated as the average of the sum of the squared deviations from the mean? | show 🗑
|
||||
| very low speeds, frequent stoppages, volume is greater than capacity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | represents the mean, mode, and median.
🗑
|
||||
| show | To provide a statistically significant sample
🗑
|
||||
| show | Cohurt Survival
🗑
|
||||
