Soft skills

Soft skills are a combination of interpersonal people skills, social skills, communication skills, character traits, attitudes, career attributes and emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) among others. Technical knowledge of any subject is considered hard skill. Soft skills are also called corporate skills. Soft skills can be more useful and practical (than?/to whom?). A definition based on review literature explains soft skills as a cluster of productive personality traits that characterize one's relationships in a social milieu with other people and the key three abilities/elements are people skills, social skills and personal career attributes, in other words social skills is an umbrella term for skills under this functional elements.

Effective communication skill can be the most sought after skill by employers. Soft skills are related with insights, emotions, feelings, gut-instinct and (some would say) an inner knowing. Because of this they are not taught passively as in the way of "hard skills". Hence soft skills are associated with EQ (Emotional Quotient) and EI (Emotional Intelligence) rather than with IQ.

Soft skills differ from field to field, mostly due to different career attributes requirement though the basic people and social skills remain the same. Soft skills are the basic requirement for today's employability.

Following is a list of most common soft-skills.

Politeness
Maintaining a calm and friendly composure is as important as to making a worthwhile impression on others

Greetings
Starting a conversation by a greeting, complement, social gesture and a simple comment about societal - relative topic like the weather and work your way up to other topics

Respect for others
Even though you are exposed to someone who you do not know well enough to give them respect it is necessary that you give them the respect they would expect irrespective to whether or not they deserve that. Sensitive and idealistic men are hard to impress if you don't restrain your political and religious views (or any other as a matter of fact) to your selves

Positive Attitude
Attitude is like an ice berg, the tip which is visible is the part that you show but actually the real attitude is within you.

Friendly nature
===Enthauisifoot ===

Empathy and E.Q.
To be aware of one's own (short term) emotions and (long term) feelings and to be willing to examine those that get in the way of our relationships. The ability to tune into another's emotional state and to empathise with them, even if you don't share their views.

Patience
Patience definition, the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation.

Sense of humour
Humour can be a disaster if you are not exceptionally good at it.

Teamwork
Teamwork is demonstrated when one works cooperatively with others and contributes to a group with ideas, suggestions, and effort, and completes tasks necessary to reach a goal or make a decision. Effective team members build on individual team members' strengths and resolve differences for the benefit of the team.

Conflict Management
Conflict management is seen as a process of resolving conflict or lessening it between two or more people or groups. To be well conversant with conflict resolution we need to have in depth understanding of human behavior, good interpersonal skills, persuasive communication skill, patience, and control over our own mood.

Ability to lead others
The Ability to Lead Others Starts With The Ability to Know Yourself Great leadership is a skill rooted in authenticity and there are as many ways to be a great leader as there are people in the world. But before you can lead others, you must first be able to know, embrace and embody your true self. More vital than charisma and intelligence, the ability to empathize and willingness to serve have been shown to be required traits to build leadership acumen. In fact, research finds that oftentimes, charismatic leaders lack essential listening skills and therefore attract followers who are less willing to speak up. According to leadership expert and scholar Peter Drucker, the most common characteristic amongst great leaders is integrity. Integrity is the natural result of being authentic and fully yourself. Meaning, the best way to become an effective leader is to find congruence between what you think, say and do. That said, in order to become an effective leader you have to know who you are: your values, your strengths, what you stand for, why you stand for it, and what your ethics are. Then act on them.

Effective Communication
Those who communicate effectively will organize ideas and communicate clear oral messages appropriate to listeners and situations. Other cues such as body language are adapted to the style, tone, and complexity of the audience and the occasion. A good communicator listens and responds to feedback.

Art of presentation
Mastering the Art of Presentation – Strategies for Presentation Effectiveness. Being a great and dynamic presenter is a much-needed skill in any workplace. It may seem as if some people are born with the knack to captivate and move audiences to act while others may struggle to get a simple point across.

Time Management
Displayed when one develops and follows an effective, workable schedule based on accurate estimates of: task importance, time to complete tasks, time available for completion, and deadlines.

Ability to Learn and Update One's Knowledge
This ability is demonstrated by applying and adapting new knowledge and skills in both familiar and changing situations. One determines when new information must be created or located, and takes responsibility for learning.

Sense of Responsibility
Personal responsibility is shown when one demonstrates high standards for attendance, punctuality, enthusiasm, and vitality in approaching and completing tasks--even when assigned unpleasant ones.

Ex 1 : Quiz
Go to the Quiz.

Ex 2 : Memory training
Write out the Breton words, section by section.

Have 2 columns, clearly separated, and write Breton and English. Then cover up one column (eg. English) with paper and write the corresponding words on the paper. Then try it the other way round, cover up the Breton, and write out the words using the English as cues. This will be a little bit more difficult.

Repeat all this after an interval, the more you do it the easier you will remember the words.

Proteomics

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. Proteins are vital in living organisms, as they are the main components of the physiological pathways of cells. The term "proteomics" was coined to make an analogy with genomics, the study of the genes. The proteome of an organism is the set of proteins produced by it during its life, and its genome is its set of genes. The proteome of a cell under a particular stimulation is the set of proteins in it. The word "proteome" derives from "proteins" and "genome", since proteins are expressed by the genome.

Proteomics is often considered the next step in the study of biological systems, after genomics. It is much more complicated than genomics, mostly because while an organism's genome is rather constant, a proteome differs from cell to cell and constantly changes through its biochemical interactions with the genome and the environment. One organism has radically different protein expression in different parts of its body, different stages of its life cycle and different environmental conditions. Another major difficulty is the complexity of proteins relative to nucleic acids.

Scientists are very interested in proteomics because it gives a much better understanding of an organism than genomics. First, the level of transcription of a gene gives only a rough estimate of its level of expression into a protein. An mRNA produced in abundance may be degraded rapidly or translated inefficiently, resulting in a small amount of protein. Second, many proteins experience post-translational modifications that profoundly affect their activities; for example some proteins are not active until they become phosphorylated. Methods such as phosphoproteomics and glycoproteomics are used to study post-translational modifications. Third, many transcripts give rise to more than one protein, through alternative splicing or alternative post-translational modifications. Finally, many proteins form complexes with other proteins or RNA molecules, and only function in the presence of these other molecules.

Since proteins play a central role in the life of an organism, proteomics is instrumental in discovery of biomarkers, such as markers that indicate a particular disease.

With the completion of a rough draft of the human genome, many researchers are looking at how genes and proteins interact to form other proteins. A surprising finding of the Human Genome Project is that there are far fewer protein-coding genes in the human genome than proteins in the human proteome (20,000 to 25,000 genes vs. about 1,000,000 proteins). The human body may contain more than 2 million proteins, each having different functions. The protein diversity is thought to be due to alternative splicing and post-translational modification of proteins. The discrepancy implies that protein diversity cannot be fully characterized by gene expression analysis, thus proteomics is useful for characterizing cells and tissues.

To catalog all human proteins, their functions and interactions is a great challenge for scientists. An international collaboration with these goals is co-ordinated by the Human Proteome Organization.

Assistant teacher course/Teachers' handbook/Mentoring programs

—

Mentoring
Suggested mentoring programs are a voluntary mentoring program for junior mentors in grade eight and nine and a mandatory mentoring program for mentors in high school. A further mentoring program with adult mentors is also recommended. This chapter focuses on organizational issues of school-based mentoring programs for junior mentors, high school mentors and adult mentors.

One could take the view that schools make or may appear to make a promise they can't keep. The promise schools may appear to make to parents is that they take care of the education of children and adolescents in all aspects and without bias. Where schools may be severely lacking (possibly without drawing attention to the fact) is socialization. Twenty to thirty pupils in a class without further organization but a subject teacher holding a lesson do not constitute a contribution to socialization but sometimes the opposite, because the role model of young pupils is frequently detrimental. The beneficial effects of mentoring for the mentor can help to close this gap, especially in combination with an assistant teacher effort as the preliminary stage. The offer of preparing for a voluntary educational year could be seen as a superior goal and further motivation for both, mentoring program and assistant teacher effort.

Coopetition
Coopetition inspired by the competition between rivaling football teams can help to boost mentoring efforts. It may be advisable for different mentoring organizations to have their own football teams and to use sports as a motivating group experience. (Thus a football team alone, without a mentoring effort, could be rationalized to be a second step without the first step.)

Mentoring assistant teachers
A goal that can be set for a group of assistant teachers is to devise a mentoring program for assistant teacher trainees. A mentoring program for assistant teachers can include mentoring inside the classroom and outside the classroom and can also address issues of qualification and disqualification.

Teachers as mentors for assistant teachers
At the request of an assistant teacher group teachers can also mentor assistant teacher trainees. The assistant teacher trainees should fit into the mentoring scheme described in the section Teachers as mentors for pupils@undefined.

Older pupils as mentors for assistant teachers
Older pupils can also be assigned as mentors to assistant teachers. An advantage of older pupils (in comparison to teachers) as mentors for assistant teachers is that mentoring inside the classroom is possible with older pupils and that (in comparison with peers) the mentors have more experience as assistant teachers.

Teachers as mentors for pupils
There are two distinct approaches to mentoring for teachers: A teacher can offer support and guidance as an advisory teacher within a learning project or learning context or he can become a personal mentor for individual pupils. The scientific evaluation of the self-study semester in Zürich found that the changed role of the teacher during the self-study semester created a challenge for the participating teachers and required the teachers to reflect on their role and to learn new ways of interacting with pupils. The changed roles of a teacher as advisory teacher and as personal mentor could motivate to make both approaches part of the work experience of teachers. In part the beneficial effect of mentoring is on the side of the teachers because the more personal communication can further mutual understanding, also the understanding of the adult for the adolescent. A beneficial effect of being advisory teacher for a learning project is better insight into learning processes and learning behaviors of individual pupils. A school will not be able to provide teachers as mentors for all pupils but only for a small group. It is recommended to select pupils with very good, average and very poor academic aptitude as protégés for all teachers (but not in triplets with that exact composition), in order to allow teachers reliably to experience differences in the individual needs and personality of the pupils, but not to represent pupils proportionally (which would favor the average pupil instead of the two groups that have more use for individual guidance). An intended psychological effect is to counter a possible classroom perspective of a teacher, where some pupils may easily fit into superficial categories.

Mentoring program design and management
The steps of designing and managing a mentoring program are described in "Elements of Effective Practice". Smaller school-based mentoring programs may also be able to derive good ideas from the professional approach.

Assistant teacher course/Teachers' handbook/Voluntary educational year

Voluntary educational year
—Democracy and Education, John Dewey

Preparation for a voluntary educational year (a voluntary social year in education) can provide a continual motivation for beneficial educational goals. It is recommended to invite pupils to consider a voluntary educational year as a sensible goal early and to postpone commitment to a later date. This way pupils can benefit from the additional goal and can still enjoy the unrestricted freedom of choice. Pupils might also decide to postpone participation in a voluntary educational year until college and could still benefit from earlier preparation in school.

Another option could be to donate an available budget for a more important purpose (e.g. Unicef or Médecins Sans Frontières) and to cancel the voluntary educational year. Such a decision should be made at the appropriate time, however, and the voluntary educational year can still provide a beneficial motivation throughout the school career of a pupil while the decision has not yet been made.

Building vocabulary
Technical terms introduced during lessons can be translated immediately by the subject teachers to all relevant languages or can be translated afterwards by assistant teachers. Translation during the lesson may be especially recommendable in bilingual education but can also be applied in a monolingual learning environment.

While early bilingual education appears to be beneficial for the language skills of above-average pupils bilingual learning environments in elementary school are criticized to promote frontal instruction and to discourage group work because the pupils may not have sufficient language skills to make appropriate contributions in the foreign language. The problem can be addressed with assistant teachers who are already fluent in the second language; the assistant teachers may need a special qualification as foreign language assistant teachers.

Assistant teachers can help to document the technical vocabulary that has been learned by a class in a class wiki in all relevant languages. The connection between language subjects and other subjects can encourage interdisciplinary associations between knowledge.

Pupils who use a laptop or e-book reader to read e-books can also maintain a database of personal vocabulary.

E-mentoring
...

Teaching in a developing country
—Democracy and Education, John Dewey

School partnerships with schools in least developed countries are likely to benefit from cooperation between several schools, as, for instance, a group of partner schools in developed countries or neighboring schools. A group of schools may be more likely to be able to provide a sufficient number of participants interested to visit a specific country and to maintain guest houses or rent housing of appropriate quality in the destination country. If a sufficient number of pupils and students participate it may also be feasible to offer more appropriate guidance and supervision on the spot.

In order not to displace regular teachers pupils and students can participate as assistant teachers or restrict the size of their courses to much smaller courses than are usual in developing countries. A course size limit of fifteen to twenty-five pupils (depending on the usual class size) is likely to increase the quality of education, to secure the jobs of regular teachers and to avoid overburdening the visiting pupils and students.

...

Teaching in a local school or in a developed country
In some parts of the United States it is customary or even required that each classroom have one certified teacher and one or more co-teachers or teaching assistants. Japan and Germany have special programs for foreign language assistants, similar programs are probably available in many other countries. In the United Kingdom qualified teaching assistants are also common. Academic exchange programs may require that a foreign language assistant has completed two or more years of college education and has studied to become a fully qualified teacher or has obtained a bachelor's degree.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Pierrecurie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pierrecurie~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:41, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikiversity talk:Portal reform

=Re: Portal:FLOSS4Science= Includes a very large number of subpages with real content. The entire project needs moving to the main namespace.

Disagree: the "real content" to which you refer is not actually "real content". It is all links to people, organisations, software sites and sites with learning resources associated with the software (how to use it, how to get involved developing it, etc.).

The actual "real content" that we hope to see being developed on Wikiversity will be tutorials etc. associated with the learning of specific subjects - using the free/libre and open source software.

Such courseware may reside in the main namespace on Wikiversity, or elsewhere (external sites). Ktucker 14:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

=Re: Portal:Social entrepreneurship=

Loads of real content here. Move the entire project to the main namespace.

Disagree: comments above for Portal:FLOSS4Science apply: the portal is all links to people, organisations, learning resources, etc. Well, that is the intention (there are a few instances where this is not the case, so I have updated the guidelines for editors). Ktucker 14:57, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok. The only reason to keep it is if there are external links to it. Unlikely, I suppose. So, go ahead and delete it. Ktucker 14:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Filmmaking Basics/Formatting the Script/Analyze the story

Metaphor
"The Young Person pauses and looks at the Old Person. A man in a Chewbacca suit runs in front of them, chased by a throng of Star Wars fans in Darth Vader suits."
 * The man in the Chewbacca suit would be a primate (prima + ate -> "assistant teacher effort") but (as a Wookiee) he would be too large for an actual primate, so that would make him a mentor (larger -> riesig {de} -> more reason, higher rank)
 * The people in the Darth Vader suits would be parents with parenting driver's licenses? (Darth Vader -> parent appears to be some kind of Hitler -> parent + (to appear -> scheinen {de} -> Schein {de}) + (Hitler -> Führer) -> Elternführerschein {de} -> parenting driver's license), (suit -> clothing -> constructed, civilized appearance -> educational qualification)
 * The story doesn't tell why the man in the Chewbacca suit runs aways, so the reason is nonexistent or [[Image:Arrow-complex-right.svg|20px]] irrelevant.
 * And that is meant to be funny (-> altruistic)? Sure, the mentor needs help and adults with pedagogical qualification hurry towards him (Inversion of chasing him). Consistent metaphor (and [[Image:Arrow-complex-right.svg|20px]] stupid, of course).

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called PsychoDave. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name PsychoDave~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Talk:WikiCast

Welcome WikiCast
Wikiversity is a metacommunity. As a Wikimedia project, we would like to "partner" with other communities and projects that have similar goals and interests. WikiCast fits our model for outreach into the community-at-large. We hope to develop this learning project using hands-on experience under our Internet Audio and Video Division - part of the School of Media Studies and a content development project to extend the Engineering and Technology Portal. We would like to extend a warm welcome to our friends at WikiCast! Please see the WikiCast Main Page for orientation. • CQ 00:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * A (belated) welcome to Wikicast. Hopefully we can encourage some of their members to open up links here to the various learning projects that they, and we, will be engaging in over the next few months. Historybuff 19:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Premature to delete at this time
WikiCast has lost it's wiki, but I think both the participants and the idea are a group whose time is right. WCR is a learning experiment in podcasting and webcasting, but as it develops it's focus should be towards the participants of Wikiversity (in paticular, Education, learning and those communities). As such, the Wiki community will need something beyond our scope. Historybuff 21:55, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Why don't we redirect this page to Wiki Campus Radio? It doesn't seem to serve much purpose at the moment. If the project resurfaces, then we can restore this page to a previous version and let it reblossom.. Cormaggio talk 08:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Debatepedia.org launch
Since this is something of an outreach forum, I thought I might direct this forum to the new Debatepedia.org that recently launched with the International Debate Education Association on Oct. 12th. Debaterx 00:00, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This is not an outreach forum, per se - it was meant to be a place the WikiCast community could coordinate their Wikiversity activities. Cormaggio talk 19:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

This is a deliberate fork of complete in order to raise discussion. Can - or should - a resource on a wiki be "complete"? In order to invite comments, I'll raise this on the Colloquium. Cormaggio talk 09:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * A resource can be considered complete by anyone who feels a need to perceive resources as complete. In other words, nobody should be telling anyone that their needs for completion and/or incompletion are in any sense "wrong". Or in more other words: it is good to offer templates with different ways of saying the same thing. --McCormack 10:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Principles of Management

ideas?
I need to type a research paper that relates to Principles of Management. Please help! Give me some Ideas!

While define the principle of management planning and controling are often described as two sprater and distinnct function .critically asses to what they can be cossidered independent of one another
The above comment was copied from here. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 22:22, 1 September 2008 (UTC) me

The translation of Fayol from French to English
Hi there,

I have been working (researching) during 2009 on the "surprising" translation of Henri Fayol book from French into English. To the bilingual readers from a French (cultural) background who get a chance to read fluently the three versions (original, Coubrough, and Storrs) the first impression is that these two translators had make a very poor job. From a very benevolent and sociological approach of Chief-Workers relationships, the English versions look quite "militaristic" and almost totally deprivated of its social consideration by the change of words, or of meaning of words between languages.

But I made next an institutional analysis of France and USA and found that the respective workforces were very different, causing different needs in term of management. After exploring the possibilities of various theoretical approaches (Foucault, Ricoeur, Habermas, Chomski, Rawls) I finally decided myself for using an Habermasian grid of reading on the cross-textual analysis, and to explain these changes with the Reflective Equilibrium of Rawls, in order to "lift the veil of ignorance" on the differences between traditional French (pre-1968) and American (pre-2000?) management styles and ethics.

My "problem" is that if this topic would completely fall into a Management School in France (because French scholars don't have any "ideological" issues for using Political Science theories in Strategic management researches), it appeared to me that it was a bit "avant-gardiste" in Anglo-American management schools and that my topic would be more welcome in a School of Sociology.

Your thoughts? Thanks in advance for your replies. Cheers. -- Silwilhith 03:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia
I'm thinking of starting a fun project to study the management of an on-line encyclopedia, Wikipedia. "Fun" is a synonym for "interesting." Not here on this talk page. However, today, I'd like to encourage looking at how the principles, considered fundamental in management technology, apply or don't apply to Wikipedia, and the effects of this "in actual practice." So I'm creating Principles of Management/Wikipedia to look at this. And remember two more fundamental principles, folks, Be Nice, and Be There or Be Square. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 13:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Esprit de Corps
From resource page, added by IP 59.93.135.246:

Perhaps someone can expand on this theme and then add it back to the resource page.

 * Principles of management is much more than a definition. It covers at least four content areas and 45 different topics. This is a full semester of learning. See https://clep.collegeboard.org/exam/management for a topical outline. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 12:36, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

User talk:Rjclaudio old

Request for Usurpation
Hello, Rjclaudio. A request has been made at Changing username to usurp, or "take over", your username because you have not used it to edit, and another user would like to use it to edit. w:Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations says that any unused username may be usurped if the user is given 14 days notice to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to utilize the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing : the request will be filled after 14 days, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed : please log in and make an edit. You may make an edit here saying "No", you may make an edit to blank this page, or any other edit you like; making any edit at all prevents your username from being usurped, because users with edits cannot have their usernames usurped.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time.

T-test

“A t-test is used to determine whether a set or sets of scores are from the same population.” - Coakes & Steed (1999), p.61

History
The t-test is years old. The t statistic was introduced by William Sealy Gosset for cheaply monitoring the quality of beer brews. Gosset was a statistician for the Guinness brewery in Dublin, Ireland. He was hired due to Guiness' innovative policy of recruiting the best graduates from Oxford and Cambridge to apply biochemistry and statistics to Guinness' industrial processes. Gosset published the t test in Biometrika in 1908, but was forced to use a pen name by his employer who regarded the fact that they were using statistics as a trade secret. Hence, the name Student's t-test. Read more here: t-test history.

Types
There are three types of t-test:

One-sample t-test

 * 1) Used to compare a sample mean with a known population mean or some other meaningful, fixed value

Independent samples t-test

 * 1) Used to compare two means from independent groups

Paired samples t-test

 * 1) Used to compare two means that are repeated measures for the same participants - scores might be repeated across different measures or across time.
 * 2) Used also to compare paired samples, as in a two treatment randomized block design.

Assumptions
Dependent variables must be:
 * 1) Measured at interval or ratio level level of measurement - i.e., needs to be continuous.
 * 2) Normally distributed in all groups of the independent variable.
 * 3) * Robust to violations of this assumption if sample sizes are large and approximately equal (> 15 cases per group)
 * 4) Have approximately equal variance across all groups of the IV (homogeneity of variance e.g., tested by Levene's test).
 * 5) * If not the p-values for significance tests are inaccurate.
 * 6) * If the variances are different SPSS has post-hoc tests to adjust for this.
 * 7) Cases represent random samples from the populations and the scores of the test variable are independent of each other.
 * 8) * Inaccurate p-values if the independence assumption is violated.

Graphing

 * 1) Bar chart (1 IV) and clustered bar charts (> 1 IV)
 * 2) Box and whisker plot
 * 3) Error-bar chart
 * 4) Stem and leaf plot

Checklist

 * 1) Purpose? (e.g., hypothesis?)
 * 2) Variables / design
 * 3) Descriptive statistics (4 moments)
 * 4) Assumptions
 * 5) Figure / graph? (optional)
 * 6) One-tailed or two-tailed?
 * 7) Test statistics, including effect size and direction of effects

Example 1
An independent t-test was used to determine whether there was a difference in mean grip strength between males and females. This revealed a significant difference (t (88) = 2.04, p = .04), with males having significantly higher mean strength scores than females (males, M = 2.93, SD = 1.23; females, M = 2.71, SD = '1.41).

Note: Usually means, standard deviations and effect sizes are reported in a Table.

Non-parametric

 * Mann-Whitney U
 * Wilcoxon signed-rank test

Effect size/Data analysis tutorial

Effect size data analysis tutorial

Between groups
Cohen's d is the recommend effect size for expressing the difference between two means. The following samples involve computing the effect size between two independent means which you can work out using the downloadable calculator. Use Cohensd.xls to work out the following:
 * 1) What is the effect size between two means (and how large is it?), where M1 = 10, SD1 = 3, M2 = 12.5, SD2 = 4
 * 2) Using a 99% confidence interval, N = 20 in each group, is this a significant difference?
 * 3) Using a 95% confidence interval, N = 20 in each group, is this a significant difference?
 * 4) Using a 90% confidence interval, N = 20 in each group, is this a significant difference?
 * 5) What happens if we increase the N in each group to 100?
 * 6) What is the effect size between two means (and how large is it?), where M1 = 8, SD1 = 2, M2 = 3.5, SD2 = 2
 * 7) Using a 99% confidence interval, N = 40 in each group, is this a significant difference?
 * 8) Using a 95% confidence interval, N = 40 in each group, is this a significant difference?
 * 9) Using a 90% confidence interval, N = 40 in each group, is this a significant difference?
 * 10) What happens if we decrease the N in each group to 10?
 * 11) What is the effect size between two means (and how large is it?), where M1 = .5, SD 1= .1, M2 = .6, SD2 = .07
 * 12) Using a 99% confidence interval, N = 200 in each group, is this a significant difference?
 * 13) Using a 95% confidence interval, N = 200 in each group, is this a significant difference?
 * 14) Using a 90% confidence interval, N = 200 in each group, is this a significant difference?
 * 15) What is the effect size between two means, N = 15, where M1 = 6.5, SD1 = 1, M2 = 7.5, SD2 = 1.1
 * 16) What is the confidence interval? Using only, the confidence interval, is this difference significant?
 * 17) How large would N need to be to get a just significant result?
 * 18) Using N  = 15, how large would M2 need to be to get a just significant result?

Repeated measures
There is controversy about how to compute effect sizes for repeated measures. See Effect Size Measures for Two Dependent Groups :

"'The ES computed using the paired t-test value will always be larger than the ES computed using a between groups t-test value, or the original standard deviations of the scores...However, Dunlop, et al. convincingly argue that the original standard deviations (or the between group t-test value) should be used to compute ES for correlated designs. They argue that if the pooled standard deviation is corrected for the amount of correlation between the measures, then the ES estimate will be an overestimate of the actual ES....In summary, when you have correlated designs you should use the original standard deviations to compute the ES rather than the paired t-test value or the within subject's F value.'"

 * If you would like to calculate the repeated measures Cohen's d, based on the pooled standard deviation corrected for the correlation, use this calculator (Note: You need to input the correlation.): Cohensdrepeatedmeasures.xls

Confidence intervals

 * Confidence Intervals for Cohen's d effect sizes can be calculated using the above calculators.
 * When N increases, the CI decreases - see this java applet. When you hit Run, it will start sampling and show the means and 95 % CIs for each. Stop the applet, change the desired N, and start again. Compare the obtained distributions for samples with different Ns.

Statistical power/Data analysis tutorial

Power

 * Power.xls
 * If I am using a confidence interval of 95% and I want a power level .8, what would be the minimum sample size to detect a standardised mean difference of .3?
 * If I am using a confidence interval of 99% and I want a power level of .7, what would be the minimum sample size to detect an effect size of .7?
 * If I am using a confidence interval of 90% and I want a power level of .9, with a sample size of 200, what effect size will I be able to detect?
 * If I am using a confidence interval of 95% and I will have a sample size of 50, and I want a power level of .8, what effect size will I be able to detect?

Composite scores

Overview
In statistics, and particularly psychometrics, composite scores are calculated from data in multiple variables in order to form reliable and valid measures of latent, theoretical constructs.

The variables which are combined to form a composite score should be related to one another. This can be tested through factor analysis and reliability analysis.

Higher-order composite scores (such as global or total scores) may also be appropriate when factors themselves are correlated and theoretically related.

Methods
Two common methods for calculating composite scores are:
 * Unit weighted - each item is equally weighted, e.g., X = mean (A, B, C, D)
 * Regression-weighted - each item is weighted according to its factor loading, e.g., X = .5*A + 0.4*B + 0.4*C + 0.3*D

In most situations, you can use either unit-weighted or regression-weighted composite scores. Regression-weighted scores are, technically, more valid. However regression-weighted scores are standardised (to a mean of 0 and SD of 1), so in some situations e.g., comparisons between means of two or more composite scores (e.g., for an RM ANOVA or Mixed ANOVA), unit-weighted scores should be used. But regression-weighted are appropriate for MLR and some ANOVAs, as well as many other types of statistical analysis.

Missing data
When computing composite scores, consider whether some allowance could be made for missing data. If a multi-item scale is internally consistent, then a composite score could be created even when some data are missing. For example, in SPSS syntax, use COMPUTE NEWVARNAME = mean.3(v1, v2, v3, v4, v5) will create a new variable based on the means of v1 to v5 and it will still calculate a mean for a case as long as there at least 3 responses to the 5 items. If there are 2 or less responses, the result will be a missing value for the composite score.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Exxxplicit. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Exxxplicit~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sedimentary rock

In this section we will deal with sedimentary rock and its place in the rock cycle. Sediments are classed as originating from (Plummer and McGeary 1994 p.304)

 * 1. Weathering and eroding of any existing rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary (shale, gabbro, marble etc).
 * 2. Any chemical precipitation from solution, salts or organic secretions.

These types of rock formations are generally porus, in that fluids can flow in between the rock particles and the binding matrics. This is the basis of ground water as opposed to a cavity within a rock substrate.

Rock size
All types of sediment are classed as unconsoldated in that they can move indivdually and are not bound to one another. There are three different classifications of sediment and these are classed according to size in millimeters in diameter, with sub-categories.

 * Gravel: this type of sediment is classified into boulders at over 256 mm, cobbles at between 64-256 mm and pebbles at 2-64 mm, called either rudites or psephites.

 * Sand has no sub-categories but is sized at 1/16 (0.0625) to 2 mm, called either arenites or psammites.

 * Mud is the last category and includes silt at between 1/256-1/16 of a mmm, and clay at below 1/256 of a mm, called either lutite (Latin) or a pelite (Greek)..

Transportation
Transportation in the geological sense is the mass movement of unconsolidated material, using the force of gravity the material can be shifted from from a high elevation to a lower elevation, and sometines in the reverse. This movement is not precise and smaller fragments can be moved a greater distance than larger material. This is because the energy required to move a large piece of say rock is greater and can be overcome quicker than the energy required to move silt.

A fragment of weathered rock would in the right circumstance be transported via a river system, glacier or waves down to a lower elevation. During this transportation the size of the rock would be sorted into the size categorization above. When the transportation body has more energy the size and amount of the material carried would increase.

During the process, the material goes through a process called Rounding. This is the grinding away of sharp edges of a rock to form rounded corners. The process involves a rock material hitting another equally hard or harder rock surface. This occurs in sand or gravel.

Sorting is the process where the sediment is selected and seperated into different size, grain shape and specific gravity. Shallow marine shoreline systems are the most effective at sorting material, as the sediment is continuously reworked. High energy shoreline systems can move larger sediemnt and may therefore produce rock, pebble and sand beaches. Sediment from beach environments are characteristically well sorted, well rounded and are composed of 90% or more quartz. Glaciers are poor at sorting the material because of their high viscosity and manner of flow, as all size rocks are trasnported together till the terminus of glacier is reached and once it has retreated form terminal moraine

Deposition
When a transporting fluid body like wind, a river, a wave or a glacier looses momentum, it looses energy. Once the kinetic energy decreases below that required to sustain a certain weight and/or friction, a stone over the energy weight to sustain its' suspention in the transporting body will drop out of circulation down to surface level. Also deposition can refer to organic matter, as it falls and accumulates onto a surface area. Another type of deposition is the precipitation os salts out of a solution. There is deposition that depends on the shape or specific gravity of the object, that can also be affected by kinetic energy of the transporting body.

Lithification
This is the group of processes that turns loose sediment into sedimentary rock. First there is the deposition of loose sedimentary grains, during this process the material is compacted as more sediment is put on top. The initial pore space for slow moving sediment can be about 40-50 percent of the sediment, in faster moving sediment this is reduced. Compaction reduces this area by decreasing the pore space as it squeezes water or air from the matrix. After compaction cementation usually occurs and makes the sedimentary rock harder and stable. The most prominant cement is calcite (CaCO3) which may be produced from chemical weathering of the sediment itself, or transported from a distant site from water percolating through the rock.

Types of Sedimentary rocks
Clastic rocks are grained rock which may or may not be filled with a matrics. The largest of these include coarse grainedBreccia and Conglomerate types of rocks, usually filled in with 15% or less of matrics of sand and finer particles. As with the nature and size of the material, the source rock was close to the locality of deposition. For Breccia as there is little rounding of the rock fragments, the source material was in the immediate vacinity. Deposition could have been the base of a cliff or another locality where transportation from the immediate area is not likely to occure.

For conglomerates the material has suffered rounding indicating transportation. As the size of the material is quiet large, the area of deposition is still close to the area of erosion, generally no more than a few kilometres.

Sandstone rocks are made of mainly quartz and/or feldspar minerals. Because of the size of the material, there is consderable transportion from the parient material. This material is more dominate as sediment in slow flowing rivers, lakes, streams the that have a lower energy factor. But the sand dominance depends on the energy contained within the transporting water course. Sand is also a major consitution of beach material along with organic rocks.

Carbonate or organic rocks
These are rocks that are made mainly via organic processes, that is by living organisms, the exception would be the Oolitic limestone. They include the various types of limestone and dolomite.

Major types of rock inclue those made by the accumulation of foraminifera, coral, bivalves and brachiopods, crinoids just to name a few. Generally vertebrate remains do not consolidate into rock alone, usually sand, clay etc or other organism makes up the rest of the matrixs and/or cement.

Chemical rocks
A chemical rock is one that has been precipitated from a solution, these include rock salts and some limestones. As a water body has a reduced inflow of water, through friction and evaporation it tends to loose that water. As the concentration of suspended chemicals and other material increases it tends to perculate out of the solution if concentrations of that chamical become oversaturated. During this chemical formation into crystals, some other material eg,. plant remains, shell or silt can become trapped within the crystals that are forming. This accumulation of crystals and other material over a long period, or even if it only occured once and covered with another type sedimentary material can form a layer within a rock formation.

Rock and minerals formations/Precipitate rocks

A rock that is precipitated out of a solution, either the solution is saturated and the excess is deposited without eveporation. Or the solution eveporates leading to excess being deposited as the reduced water becomes less.
