It is parameters defining properties of the population distribution from which one's data are drawn, Uses of Parametric Tests 1: uses in skewed and non-normal distributions=Parametric tests can be used with continuous data that are non-normal if you satisfy these sample size guidelines. For example sample t test (each group should be greater than 15) and in ANOVA (if you have 10 -12 groups then each group should be greater than 20). 2: uses for when spread of each group is different= For nonparametric tests data for all groups must have the same spread (dispersion). If your groups have a different spread, the nonparametric tests might not provide valid results. In parametric tests you’re good to go even when the groups have different spreads. 3: uses as a Power=Parametric tests usually have more statistical power tha...

Define different types of Validity and reliability.

This can be done by ensuring elements of the wider issue under investigation and the items used have taken care of depth and breadth. Predictive validity This involves predicting by means of assessment or technique performance on some other criterion. An assessment for example can be used as a predictor when it is used to place children in groups. Concurrent validity This is when data gathered from one instrument must correlate highly with data gathered from using another instrument. Types of reliability= However we can use four techniques to find out reliability which are following: Observer Reliability : The degree to which different raters/observers give consistent answers or estimates. For example Two people may be asked to categorize pictures of animals as being dogs or cats. A perfectly reliable result would be ...

Explain the concept of Validity and Reliability in Measurement?

Validity The concept of validity is to find accurate information without any unnecessary things,There are many ways to assess the validity of instrument/results ,The concept of validity explains that whether the collected result is free from errors or not it also determine whether the result is 100% accurate or not so validation involves collecting and analyzing resulting data to assess the accuracy of an instrument. Validity is the extent to which an instrument measures what it is supposed to measure and performs as it is designed to perform. It is rare, if nearly impossible, that an instrument be 100% valid, so validity is generally measured in degrees. As a process, External validity helps obtain the degree to which a sample represents the population. Content validity refers to the appropriateness of the content of an instrument.
