Dissertation blues

I thought all was well, what do I get back...the following recommended changes came from my adviser:

1.      Pearson correlations used to determine the strength and significance of the linear association between the independent variables and the dependent variables.

2.      Multiple linear regression analyses used to determine if there was a significant  relationship between the independent variables and the dependent.

3.      Parameter estimates computed and analyzed for testing of research questions and hypothesis.

4.      The bivariate association between the career efficacy and the independent variables measured by the AMAQ subscales assessed using Pearson correlation coefficient if the data are normally distributed.

5.      Spearman correlation used for the subscales that are semi-continuous (or ordinal).

6.      Statistical significance of the bivariate correlations assessed.

7.      Association explored further in linear regression analysis for significant AMAQ subscales to adjust for participants demographic characteristics such as age, gender, rank, area of concentration and educational attainment etc. 

Up early back at it...again..submission no good

1 mo gain...right before submission found out stats are off..Let me finish this up b4 work..

Statistics COMPLETE

OK, I lied, I didn't go to sleep....officially at 10:48 PM, I have completed all of the required statistics. Great news for me, finally I feel a sense of accomplishment. I think I'll go to sleep and wake up when my body wants to wake up.

Tomorrow I will review the T-Test Results, Oneway Anova and how the t-ratio, DF, and two tailed probability actually plays into my results.

JMP Woes

OK, so I downloaded JMP 9 a month ago and created my dataset using that information. Well, JMP is only for 30 days and with the holidays and procrastinating...I lost my "privileges. 4 hours of trial and error, attempts at breaking it down to plain text or binary and I've been able to finally get it working, but it's 10PM, I'm tired and my brain needs a rest. I was supposed to have a margarita tonight. these are the sacrifices..  Let's shoot for 3 AM to get back at it.
