Nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio data: How to Remember the differences

[@sandriabland4811]

THANK YOU I LOVE YOU. I WAS READING FOR AN HOUR THEN I FOUND YOUR VIDEO AND IT ONLY TOOK ME 10 MINS TO UNDERSTAND. YOUR THE BEST

[@NurseKillam]

I'm happy it helped :)

[@smeva26]

I suck at absorbing information off of a book - i hear someone talk about it or i see visuals and examples and i get it 10 times faster 😂😂

[@tenyasteele9700]

This was SO well put together and so well explained. You've just summed up YEARS of studying to understand all this...

[@NurseKillam]

That is good to hear. Thank you!

[@helenb8070]

Loving that a nurse is explaining stats so clearly and so helpful for others.

[@NurseKillam]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vinothqaacademy]

Best video in the KZbin for this particular topic.. most of them confused me diff bw interval and ration.. but she gave an excellent explanation... Thank you mam..

[@prodyutdas1474]

great explanation. my professor should learn from you.

[@afsanamimi2636]

The BEST video on this topic. Absolutely Incredible!!

[@UltromanTheTacoman]

I suck at remembering things, and for my "Data-driven Design and Development" course for my MSc in IT, I had to memorize these. You helped a lot! You're not just helping nurses here :)

[@meganwest3025]

Thank you!! I got a 100% on my behavioral stats test because on you!!

[@edo4295]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Statistics is not my strong suit at all. I was stumped trying to understand the difference between ordinal data and interval data. Thanks to you, I got it! thank you!

[@123nshan]

This is fantastic! I'm a first year Psych undergrad, and none of the resources I PAID FOR were as helpful as this! Thanks so much for making it :)

[@NurseKillam]

I'm so happy you liked it. I'm happy it helped.

[@NurseKillam]

I am happy it helped. I already have a video about independent and dependent variables and how to differentiate between the two. Have you seen "Independent, Dependent and Confounding Variables in Quantitative Research"?

[@MUHAMMAD-ny1ym]

I get a very wonderful concept about the measurement scales....thank you very much NurseKillam

[@NurseKillam]

thanks so much, I finally understood these terms, having dyspraxia makes studying stats without an easy to follow description really hard, thanks again, I look forward to checking out your other videos

[@queenshabazz]

You are God sent! I have gotten to my last class for my masters degree when I have realized from this video that my entire research project is WRONG. I have been using the wrong test because my data for measured incorrectly. THANK YOU!. I have one day to fix all of this. Luckily my data set is small.

[@NurseKillam]

I'm happy it helped :)

[@NurseKillam]

Hopefully your thesis supervisor can help you make sure you are using the right test

[@courtnethurlkill4192]

I am so glad I watched this you were able to explain this to where my "lightbulb" finally lit up-I have been studying this mercifully for a biostatistics exam on Wednesday and I appreciate your guidance more than you will ever know!!!

[@Hansvandermeer100]

as a teacher I give you my highest praise. Beautifull! I love it. So clear, so informative. I'll translate is for my kids (Highschool in Holland)

[@NurseKillam]

Thank you! I'm happy you like it. (And I love Holland. That's where my grandpa was from) :)

[@mosesetyang1043]

This is very informative. I love the way you summarize the concepts in the scale of measurements

[@NurseKillam]

+Moses Etyang thank you

[@pareshbapna3386]

Excellent Video. Crisp, Concise and Clear. Too Good. Reading few chapters of book VS Just Enjoying this video.

[@NurseKillam]

I prefer the video option ... Makes learning more visual for some and even lets you listen while you do other things. I'm happy you liked it.

[@NurseKillam]

Thank you!

[@michelles2014]

Thank you for explaining this in a simple way.

Excellent brakedown of this information. Thank you and I hope to run into more videos like yours.

[@NurseKillam]

+Scott Smith Thank you. I have a few more you might like on my channel. Is there anything in particular you are looking for?

[@Faamu75]

No I found what I was looking for. Thanks

[@sarahhector2147]

Statistics makes a lot more sense now - Thank you!!

[@NurseKillam]

Awesome to hear!

[@statzsinger]

Thank you for this. I was looking for a review on this topic for my Psychology Quantitative Research Methods students when I have to be away from class. This fits the bill very well! One note: In personality psychology and many areas of social and behavioral sciences, we treat Likert-scaled data as interval data, but with the caveat that scales are made up of multiple items, not just one like the pain scale and that data are checked for normality. Some researchers have done comparisons by running the data both ways and have not found any meaningful differences.

[@laurabfig]

Thank you! Way better than the stat book I have. I Like the NOIR acronym and all the examples you gave. Thank you!!!!

[@corinnemarkham7012]

Very helpful! Love the learning mnemonic devices.

[@ellydi13]

Thank you very much for this video! Trying to read through the differences was confusing in the textbook so having it explained so clearly was so helpful!

[@fungwaighee3019]

Thank teacher NurseKillam, your video is very useful.

[@NurseKillam]

Good to hear. You are welcome.

[@aleccarpenter6597]

Thank you so much for the explanation. Very cohesive and clear.

[@parandparvaz]

OMG! You teach better than my stats prof! Thank you veryyyy much! This is a great video!

[@parandparvaz]

Not only you teach greatly, your speaking is not monotone or boring! I can sit through easily! Thanks again! This is better than going to my lectures! Very helpful!

[@cassandraaragon5058]

Yay! This is a great explanation and definitely helped me understand the concepts better! How would you explain moderating and mediating variables?

[@chinazumchinomnso5290]

Thank you for simplifying these levels of measurement plus i find this video really informative. I am still on clear on how to combine all the 4 levels of measurement in my questionnaire, as my research involves the use of surveys, interview and questionnaire.

[@KS-se7ir]

You explained this so well. I will be able to do wonderfully on a quiz.

[@L490sr]

you are waaaay better than my stat teachers!

[@amanuelberhane5249]

really helpful I really want to say thanks for your voluntary work

[@NurseKillam]

You are welcome

[@jimenaarreola13]

Thank you for your video. It has helped me more than my college professor.

[@abdullahbukhari1469]

Such a beautiful and soothing voice, lmao I almost slept watching it. Thanks a million

[@gabrielleassemian5154]

Thank you NurseKillam, very helpful video for review. Good job.

[@demickebennett4956]

This is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you for your help.

[@NurseKillam]

+Demicke Bennett good to hear. Thanks for letting me know.

[@ahmadsaleem5316]

Thank you very much for such a nice explanation of data types and their levels.

[@magdalenamedrano1414]

Video was VERY helpful Would like to see an explanation between independent and dependent variables and how to differentiate between the two.

[@NurseKillam]

I am happy it helped. Have you seen my video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3esp6ani86lapo

[@alinavaysfligel7249]

+NurseKillam bravo, beautifully done! your video makes so much more sense than the other sources i've looked at. so thank you for a job well done!

[@thecerebrum.]

So easily explained! Glad I found your channel

[@pantsharad]

Thanks for simplifying the concept to make understand

[@dr.bashirahmadjoo8891]

Very much informative and things have been clearly explained

[@NurseKillam]

Good to hear

[@maxtran3099]

Pretty good video! Thanks for sharing. Just one small point that confuse me. You have time under two levels. Does this mean that some variables can be on more than one level? Or is time being using for date on one level and duration on another level?

[@ashiquirrahaman8300]

Very nice. That chart helped me a lot. Could you please show us how data from one level can be converted into another?

[@NurseKillam]

+ashiquir rahaman Data can only be used at the level collected or lower. I am not sure why you would want to make it a lower level of measurement. However, you could take exact numbers from an interval/ratio level and group them to make it ordinal or interval.

[@ashiquirrahaman8300]

Thanks.

[@nohahathor929]

excellent video, thank you so much. I understand a lot more now.

[@NurseKillam]

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.

[@nickyliftsstuff4251]

This was great (I wish I had known about this when we started learning about levels of measurement in class)! I would like to see a video done on the different statistical analysis tests (bivariate and multivariate), such as one on the t-test and the chi-square test.

[@NurseKillam]

+Sorieyn I am happy it helped. Yes, that is a good video to do! I will try to get to that soon. It has been a while since I have made a video because we recently moved and my computer isn't well set up yet ... plus I am having a baby soon. So I have been working on a book but even that is slow because I have been busy teaching. I have put that idea on my priority list :)

[@nickyliftsstuff4251]

Yes, I really like all of the animations because it gives me just another related picture that I can pull from memory when I'm studying this topic. You're a pretty good teacher!

[@ConceptHut]

Great video. The information was very well laid out. Super handy.

[@danielotieno2944]

Very easy and clearly presented,

[@alexcyo]

so much more clearer than my statistics professor

[@kasvinimuniandy4178]

thank you. I really appreciate your explanation.

[@johannesmatlaisane7908]

Nice and simple explanation.

[@sulymansweity9286]

[@NurseKillam]

I'm happy to hear it. Thanks for letting me know.

[@irk514]

Thank you this helped a lot Looking for scale evaluation

[@matthiasgree7251]

[@NurseKillam]

You are welcome. Glad you found it useful.

[@mahalakshmibharath5768]

very well explained NurseKillam.

[@NurseKillam]

Thanks :)

[@acharyasomesh]

Survey has two likert scale ordinal data questionnaire (“1=strongly disagree” to “5=strongly agree”) 1. Training program helps in knowledge transfer 2. Mentoring allows more experienced employees to transfer their knowledge to the newer employees Please advise what analysis to apply to find out whether training program or mentoring is more effective?

[@NurseKillam]

That depends on the context. Look for something that is appropriate for ordinal data. A starting point may be the slide at 9:20 in this video.

[@antaskaran]

Hi Nurse Killam. Nice video. Wonderful ways of using tactics to remember.

[@NurseKillam]

+Bimal David thank you. It means a lot :)

[@christopherbarrett9900]

Incredible explanation
