How can ANOVA test the linearity of relationships that involve a continuous variable and an ordinal variable?
Here’s the problem: there are two kinds of variables — continuous and categorical, and hence, we need a single or different metrics which can quantify correlation or association between continuous-continuous, categorical-categorical and categorical-continuous variable pairs. Computing correlation can be broken down into two sub-problems — i). Testing if there is a statistically significant correlation between two variables and ii). Quantifying the association or ‘goodness of fit’ between the two variables. Ideally, we also need to be able to compare such goodness of fit metrics between variable pair classes on some universal scale. This problem becomes important if the matrix you are analyzing has a combination of categorical and continuous variables. In these cases, if you want a universal criterion to drop columns above a certain correlation from further analyses, it is important that all correlations computed are comparable. There is no single technique to correlate all the three variable pairs and so having such a universal scale for comparing correlations obtained from different methods is tricky and needs some thinking.
You might be wondering why anyone would ever need to compare correlation metrics between different variable types. In general, knowing if two variables are correlated and hence substitutable is useful for understanding variance structures in data and feature selection in machine learning. To expand, for data exploration and hypothesis testing, you want to be able to understand the associations between variables. Additionally, for building efficient predictive models, you would ideally only include variables that uniquely explain some amount of variance in the outcome. In all these applications, it is likely that you will be comparing correlations between continuous, categorical and continuous-categorical pairs with each other and hence having a shared estimate of association between variable pairs is essential.

Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT about ANOVA test? An ANOVA test is an appropriate test for comparing three or more groups in a continuous variable. In an ANOVA test, the outcome variable is on a ratio or interval level of measurement The null hypothesis of an ANOVA test is that all means in comparison are equal. The range of the F value is (-oo, +oo)
Which of the following tests would you conduct if one variable is ordinal and the other is an interval variable? Group of answer choices ANOVA Chi-Square independent t-test Spearman r
Is the variable in problem 1 nominal, ordinal, discrete, or continuous? 1) The mean checkout time for all customers at Corner Convenience Store is to be estimated using the mean checkout time for 75 randomly selected customers. Match the items in column II with the statistical term in column I
When assumptions are violated in repeated-measures ANOVA, a non-parametric test called Friedman’s ANOVA can be used in which situations? a. For any repeated-measures ANOVA design. b. When you have only one independent variable. c. When you have two or more independent variables. d. Never for repeated-measures ANOVA.
For each variable, determine the scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) and the type of variable (categorical or numerical); if it is numerical is it discrete or continuous).

What makes ANCOVA different from ANOVA? a. ANCOVA can include dummy variables. b. ANCOVA can include one or more continuous variables that predict the outcome. c. ANCOVA can include continuous variables that are not part of the main experimental manipulation but influence the dependent variable. d. ANCOVA can include continuous variables that are not part of the main experimental manipulation but influence the independent variable.
