Question | Answer |
---|---|
In an equation what value is defined as the Y-intercept and can be either a positive or a negative value | "a" |
In an equation what value is defined as the Slope and must be positive. | "b" |
What is defined as the proportion of explained variation to total variation (SSR/TSS) and has a .50 minimum accepted value. | R2 ~ Coefficient of variation |
What is defined as the measure of unexplained variation, (Syx/Y bar), Maximum value my not exceed .25, Allows comparison of dispersion in different sets of data. | V ~ Coefficient of Variation |
What is defined as the measure of absolute dispersion, Measure of unexplained variation. | Syx |
What is defined as the Mathematical relationship between the variables. | Regression |
Last Step in C&R analysis, Tells us if the sample's proportion of explained variation to unexplained variation is significant enough to all us to predict population man-hours. | F-Test |
What process increases predicted man-hours by up to 50%, First thing you do after you have a good equation, Increases the applicability of a standard. | Extrapolation |
What is defined as the including both explained and unexplained variation | TSS |
What is defined as the Measure of unexplained variation | SSE |
What is defined as the Measure of explained variation | SSR |
What is defined as having a Minimum acceptable value of .7071, Measures the stength and direction of the relation between X and Y (symbol) | R ~ Coefficient of Correlation |
What is the symbol for Predicted Man-hours | Y Value or Yc |
Step 1 of C&R | COMPUTE SUMMARY STATISTICS; Create spreadsheet using provided data |
What are the 6 critical value formulas in C&R? | b>0, R2 > or = to .5, v < or = to.25, F > F*, Significant F < .05, and R > or = to .7071 |
Step 2 of C&R formula and explain. | ESTIMATE SUMMARY COEFFICIENTS;(b>0 = positive slope, if b is not positive you cannot continue. |
Step 3 of C&R formula and explain. | COMPUTE TOTAL SUM OF SQUARES(TSS); (SSR>SSE) if it is not one or more of the critical values will fail in later steps. |
Formula to get value of Total Sum of Squares (TSS). (TSS = Total Variation in data samples) | (SSR+SSE) |
Is SSR, explained or unexplained? | Explained |
Is SSE, explained or unexplained? | Unexplained |
Step 4 of C&R formulas. | CALCULATE OVERALL STATS; (V = Syx/Y bar),(R2 >or= to .50),(V |
R squared formula (R2) | (SSR/TSS), The higher the value the better |
V formula | (Syx/Y bar) |
Syx formula | √SSE/n-2 |
Step 5 of C&R Formula | COMPUTE F(F = exp/unexp) proportion of explained to unexplained |
F formula | (exp/unexp) proportion of explained to unexplained |
Step 6 of C&R Formula | OBTAIN CRITICAL F VALUE (F*) FROM F-Table using the degrees of freedom(df) for SSE & SSR values to find |
How do you find the value of F*? | use the values of SSE & SSR to find the ___ in the F-Table |
Step 7 of C&R formula | COMPARE F AND F* in the F-Test; (F > F*), if it is then the proportion is significant enough to use at bases. |
F-Test formula | (F > F*)is the last step of C&R's 7 step |
What process is after finishing the last step of C&R? | Determine if Sig F is < .05 |
What process is after determining if Sig F failed or passed? | Determine if R is > than or = to .7071 |
What process is after determining if R failed or passed? | Extrapolation: determine the values of Yu and Yl. |
To get the value of Yl during extrapolation you use what formula? | (lowest data value * .75)to lower the value 25% |
To get the value of Yu during extrapolation you use what formula? | (largest data value * 1.25) to raise value 25% |
What is the objective of Extrapolation? | to extend the data field allowing standard to be applicable to more bases. |
What is the Air force preferred graph? | Linear Bivariant |
A graph that smiles or frowns is called? and can be easily recognized by ____ in its formula. | Parabolic (curvilinear), the exponent. (expl. cx2)the x is squared. |
A two-dimentional graph that describes the type and strength of relationships between two variables. | Scatter diagram |
A characteristic of anything that can be manipulated or made to vary. | variable |
Two variables used in developing manpower standards. | Workload factors(WLF) and man-hours(MH) |
A characteristic the we manipulate to see what happens; its symbol is X. | Independent Variable |
What is often the independent variable in standards developement? | Workload Factor (WLF) |
A Characteristic that changes due to changes in the independent variable; its symbol is Y. | Dependent variable |
What is often the dependent variable in standards developement? | Man-hours (MH) |
On a scatter diagram the horizontal line is? | The X axis |
On a scatter diagram the vertical line is? | Y axis |
The intersection of X and Y on on a scatter chart is? | Data point; if it appears more than once you annotate it by putting a circle around it. |
In a Positive/Direct Relationshiprelationship, what happens to the values of X and Y? | As the value of X (WLF)raises or lowers so too does the value of Y (MH) and vice versa. |
In a Negative/Inverse relationship, what happens to the values of X and Y? | As the value of X (WLF) increase, the value of Y (MH) decreases. The reverse is also true. |
In a Curvilinear relationship, what happens to the values of X and Y? | X (WLF) and Y (MH) start out positive, but end up negative or vice versa. (smile/frown) if you get this you should stop and check data for accuracy. |
b critical value | must be >0 |
R2 critical value | must be > or = to .50 |
V critical value | must be < or = to .25 |
F-Test critical value | F>F* |
Significant F critical value | < .05 tells that it only has less than a 5% chance of failure |
R critical value | > or = to .7071 coefficient of correlation X & Y |
