KULIAH STATISTIK - ANALISIS KORELASI

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to conducting simple linear correlation analysis, as discussed in the video "KULIAH STATISTIK - ANALISIS KORELASI". Understanding correlation is crucial in statistics as it helps you determine the relationship between two variables. This guide will walk you through the steps of performing manual correlation analysis and interpreting the results.

Step 1: Understand Correlation

• Correlation measures the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables.
• Values range from -1 to +1:
  • +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation.
  • -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation.
  • 0 indicates no correlation.
• Familiarize yourself with key terms:
  • Independent Variable: The variable you manipulate.
  • Dependent Variable: The variable you measure.

Step 2: Gather Data

• Collect data for the two variables you want to analyze.
• Ensure the data is paired, meaning each value of the independent variable corresponds to a value of the dependent variable.

Step 3: Organize Your Data

• Create a table to organize your paired data clearly.
• Example structure:

  | Independent Variable (X) | Dependent Variable (Y) |
  |--------------------------|------------------------|
  | 1                        | 2                      |
  | 2                        | 3                      |
  | 3                        | 4                      |
  

Step 4: Calculate the Correlation Coefficient

• Use the formula for Pearson's correlation coefficient (r): [ r = \frac{n(\sum XY) - (\sum X)(\sum Y)}{\sqrt{[n \sum X^2 - (\sum X)^2][n \sum Y^2 - (\sum Y)^2]}} ] Where:

  • n = number of pairs
  • ( \sum XY ) = sum of the product of paired scores
  • ( \sum X ) = sum of X scores
  • ( \sum Y ) = sum of Y scores
  • ( \sum X^2 ) = sum of squared X scores
  • ( \sum Y^2 ) = sum of squared Y scores

• Calculate each component step-by-step:

  • Compute the sum of X, Y, ( XY ), ( X^2 ), and ( Y^2 ).
  • Substitute these sums into the formula to find r.

Step 5: Interpret the Results

• Analyze the correlation coefficient:
  • Values close to +1 or -1 indicate a strong relationship.
  • Values close to 0 suggest a weak relationship.
• Consider the significance of your findings in the context of your research or data analysis.

Step 6: Visualize the Correlation

• Create a scatter plot to visually represent the relationship between the two variables.
• Label your axes clearly:
  • X-axis for the independent variable.
  • Y-axis for the dependent variable.
• Look for patterns in the scatter plot to support your correlation analysis.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to perform simple linear correlation analysis manually. Key steps included understanding correlation, gathering and organizing data, calculating the correlation coefficient, interpreting the results, and visualizing the correlation with a scatter plot.
