What are the domestic violence statistics among African American families?

African American families have a higher rate of domestic violence, 57% is the national average. however it must be noted that this is by cause and effect. The African American is among the lowest income group and statistics show that those in the poverty level of income are more apt to commit domestic violence, ergo the more people in the group the more chances for domestic violence.


What is regression analysis?

In statistics, regression analysis is a statistical process for estimating the relationships among variables. It includes many techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables, when the focus is on the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.


Does inductive statistics and inferential statistics mean same?

Yes--these two terms mean essentially the same thing. There might be variation among practicing statisticians and researchers (perhaps geographically, with those in the U.S. preferring the phrase "inferential" and those in other countries perhaps more likely to use "inductive"). The goal of inferential statistics is to make a broader statement about a large group from a small subset of that group--and the phrase "inductive reasoning" refers to making a broader generalization (that is, an inference) from a series of observations. Thus, these two phrases refer to the same thing.


What are domestic violence statistics among different age groups?

Domestic violence does not discriminate on the basis of age. There has been a increased number of domestic violence cases in teen relationships though. but people of all ages and races are victims of domestic violence everyday.


Which of the scale among ratio and interval scale is better in research method topic?

I think Ratio Scale is betterInterval Scale:-Permissible Statistics mean, standard deviation, correlation, regression, analysis of varianceRatio Scale:-Permissible StatisticsAll statistics permitted for interval scales plus the following: geometric mean, harmonic mean, coefficient of variation, logarithmsTo clarify:"Best" is an odd way of looking at it. As the previous answers suggest, ratio data does allow for more advanced statistics, but for the most common forms of analysis, there is little functional difference between the two.The bigger point is that researchers don't necessarily choose the level of data that they are working with. The nature of whatever they are studying determines it, and you can get into some pretty murky water when you try to force a ratio measurement in a study where it isn't really appropriate.
