This is so much easier to understand the first time through vs the complete waste of professors I am currently dealing with... tenure= forgot that the job is called teaching
Thank you Dr. Nic!!! Your video has and will help me tremendously in my statistic class. Before finding your video I wasn't sure that I would be able to pass this class successfully. Now I am confident that I can and will ace this class!
You are my hero for making this channel! Thown in the deep in doing Stats and Research at Uni in first Unit as a Older Student and competing against year 12 students who learnt this and we NEVER did in high school 23 year years ago You have helped me soooo much with the manner in which you simply explain things and I don't feel so overwhelmed having caught up!

As it shows in the video, this is a matter of opinion. Mathematical statisticians say that you can only apply non-pararmetric analysis to LIkert scales. However much psychology research uses Likert scales as if they were interval data. Combinations of Likert scales form indices, some of which are validated and used extensively as if they were parametric or interval data. I think an awareness of potential issues is important, but the choice is up to the discipline in which you are operating.
Oh wow estoy impresionada porque este video me salvo una exposición grupal!!.Santo cielo eres grande muchacho me llenas de felicidad con tus videos que aunque pasaron varios años aun sigue ayudando a gente como yo!!
That is a really interesting question. Strictly speaking, IQ is ordinal, as we can't guarantee that the gap between 100 and 110 represents the same difference in intelligence (whatever that is!) as between, say 110 and 120. However, it is usually treated as interval data. It depends on whether you are a "nit-picking mathematician" or a "sloppy social-scientistt."
@jowl88 @psipsychologytutor @alwilber79 You are all most welcome. It took me quite a while to think out how to make this one. Please tell your friends, classmates and instructors. You might find some of our other videos useful too.
Fantastic! Really does help, even a university student like me! It's quite simplified and the little animations are quite entertaining. Thank you very much for your efforts x
The difference isn't usually relevant in statistics, so I didn't confuse things by adding that level. Ratio data has a meaningful zero value, and ratios of numbers make sense. For example temperature is interval data as the difference between 30 degrees and 40 degrees is the same as the difference between 40 degrees and 50 degrees. However it is not meaningful to say that 40 degrees is twice as hot as 20 degrees. So temperature is not ratio data. Length in mm, is ratio data. 20mm is twice 10mm.
I teach a band of 180 students every year on research methodology and after i explain the concepts to them i play your video to the class . I can see the light in their faces when they see the video . They do walk up to me and tell me it helped the concepts to solidify faster in their brains. Most of them might end up subscribing it to you . As i make it a point to credit you in the end. Mostly they love your pictures that you choose, so keep it up :) - From India
The state is a nominal variable as there is no inherent order to it. You could number them any way you like as it doesn't mean anything other than a label.
I like the chocolate theme, actually. Even though I like chocolate, it doesn't make me feel hungry to watch these videos. It's just a nice, yummy sounding and interesting example.
Hello Dr. Nic, thanks so very much for your best efforts in sharing this great video on the differences of measurements in Stats. The way you presented, it is fantastic, and I can understand it easily. My best
These illustrations are so funny, they all look villainous. Very helpful video and the narration is actually nice to listen to as opposed to some other videos where I feel like the mic must be literally in the narrator's mouth the whole time.
No. Do check my previous responses to other questions. In stats there is little difference. It is about whether you can say that a value that is twice as much as another value corresponds to the thing being measured being twice as whatever it is you are measuring. Temperature in F or C is not ratio, though it is interval. Length in cm is ratio. Time is ratio.
Sorry! I started on the chocolate theme almost by accident in the first video, absolute and relative references in Excel. (On the UCMSCI channel) Then it just sort-of grew from there. My students complain that the videos make them hungry. Maybe I should make some more based on carrots or tomatoes.
It's been almost 11 years but this video is still helpful for understanding the different types of data. Thanks a lot, Dr. Nic 🤩
Most welcome

The idea of a tenure still seems weird to me as a European
Thank you so much this is so much clearer and more concise than my lecturers explain things and I pay £9000 a year for that

Thank you - your comment made my day.
11 years +, but still legit.
given clear examples and nice visual.
kudos and thank you doc.
Much appreciated!
am humbled by this video
actually it has shown
the simpler methods of data presentation
I just wanted to thank you for all the videos. They're all very informative and easy to grasp.

This video is much-needed and helpful still after 12 years. Thanks a lot for the uploader of this video 🎉 🎉❤
My pleasure 😊

Dr Nic's Maths and Stats LOL You spelled sloppy social-scientist wrong...
@@southcabin Oops - that was a bit slopy of me! ;)
Thank you so much, Dr.Nick, this has been so helpful.
You're very welcome!
This video is very helpful for anyone starting to do quantitative research.

Or Intro To Stats in Psychology
Agreed!

Thanks! I passed the board because of this video.
Yup - you got it. Nominal doesn't always have numbers assigned. It is often left as text.

Statistics Learning Centre beautiful girl with fresh mind.
Thanks for this information!
not only themperature, but the rating is iterval, it havn't the absolute zero
Best and easiest to understand video about data analysis!
Great video and very clearly summarises the main ideas. I've been looking at other videos in the past week, but this was the best by far. Keep it up!

Thanks! it is great to hear we are helping people learn.

Dr. Nic, really interesting!!! STAY BLESSED!!!
Thanks, you too!

Helen looks so crazy and angry when she asks for survey participation! :) great video really helped to learn the info!
I know! She has a real attitude problem and does not model good surveying behaviour.
I like the chocolate theme, actually. Even though I like chocolate, it doesn't make me feel hungry to watch these videos. It's just a nice, yummy sounding and interesting example.
This is fabulous! Very helpful! Thankyou!
Thanks. You might find it useful to do the practice exercises in the companion video: th-cam.com/video/PLTZrQt01S4/w-d-xo.html

You are very welcome
Thank you for posting this video. Concise!
These illustrations are so funny, they all look villainous. Very helpful video and the narration is actually nice to listen to as opposed to some other videos where I feel like the mic must be literally in the narrator's mouth the whole time.
Glad you like them! Getting the sound right is pretty tricky.

Glad you think so!
thank you 🙏
Best expression I really appreciate your level of explanation. Thanks
That’s great to hear. You are most welcome
Excellent video thank you so much, the pictures and illustrations are really helpful
Thank a lot. It was great explanation for types of data
thank you soo much 💜
wow. you explained this better than my university 4th year stats prof. thank you.
Great to hear!
A bar chart is usually the best choice for nominal and ordinal data.
whoever made these animations is my fucking hero
Wow....u made it so easy.... 🙏🙏
Thanks a lot 😊 That is my aim

Thanks so much I have an exam about this tomorrow
very helpful, thank you!
Thank you for this wonderfully clear presentation
This was great! Thank you!
0:00 Intro
1:07 Nominal
1:46 Ordinal
2:43 Interval/Ratio
Thanks for that - I've added it to the description now.
I'm sorry you feel like that. There are also quizzes that help you to learn the content. We think this is an important addition to help you learn.
Came here for the module, stayed because of how well it is explained
That's good to hear
Amazing presentation
excellent explaination!!
Thanks - pleased to hear it.
I am speechless 🤩🤩🤩
Apparently not.
The understanding I have got about SPSS is realy interesting
Thank you, this helped a lot!
Glad it helped!
