hi everyone expert in statistics,
my sample size is 16 respondents in a survey research. So , to measure correlation, what type of analysis is most suitable??
You can use Spearman Correlation test in SPSS.
Best regards
Nima,
Is this a pilot survey? For a survey research/cross-sectional or prevalence studies, you may need to calculate the minimum sample size required first to proceed with the analysis. It also depends on what you are researching, your study objectives or hypothesis and variables before deciding on what type of analysis you wish to perform.
What are you trying to measure of 16 respondents in terms of data type (categorical, ordinal, numerical-discrete/continuous etc.)? You should also decide on population's distribution if it is continuous.
Hi Nima. It really depends on the kind of data you have. For a sample size of 16, I would use Chi Square if my data were nominal; Chi Square /Cross Tabulation or Gamma if my data were ordinal; Spearman Correlation if my data were interval. All these tests are readily available in Statistics books. I hope this helps :)
Thank you every one answered me.
