MHB Need assistance to decide with analysis to use for problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing how construction stilts influence walking patterns based on user experience. The researcher has two groups: expert and novice stilt users, and plans to compare their walking parameters both with and without stilts. An independent t-test was initially considered for analysis, but it was pointed out that there are actually four samples due to the two parameters of expertise and walking condition. Therefore, a more suitable statistical method, ANOVA, is recommended for this analysis. Using ANOVA will allow for a comprehensive comparison across all groups and conditions.

I am interested in examining how construction stilts affect walking patterns, and how experience with the stilts affects walking patterns. I recruited a group of expert construction stilt users, and a group of novice users and videoed their both walking on stilts and without stilts. I want to see if there is a difference in walking parameters between groups and between the walking conditions.

I am considering using an independent t-test for two samples. Is this the correct approach?

Thanks,

Dants

Hi Dants, welcome to MHB!

A 2-sample t-test is to test if the means of 2 samples are different.
However, it appears you have 2 x 2 = 4 samples.
That is because you have 2 parameters: construction and expertise.
In such a case we need a more general method that can be applied to more than 2 samples: ANOVA.
 

Thread 'Value of intuitionistic logic'

I'm taking a look at intuitionistic propositional logic (IPL). Basically it exclude Double Negation Elimination (DNE) from the set of axiom schemas replacing it with Ex falso quodlibet: ⊥ → p for any proposition p (including both atomic and composite propositions). In IPL, for instance, the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM) p ∨ ¬p is no longer a theorem. My question: aside from the logic formal perspective, is IPL supposed to model/address some specific "kind of world" ? Thanks.

Thread 'Formal derivation of statement from Peano Arithmetic system'

I was reading a Bachelor thesis on Peano Arithmetic (PA). PA has the following axioms (not including the induction schema): $$\begin{align} & (A1) ~~~~ \forall x \neg (x + 1 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A2) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + 1 =y + 1 \to x = y) \nonumber \\ & (A3) ~~~~ \forall x (x + 0 = x) \nonumber \\ & (A4) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + (y +1) = (x + y ) + 1) \nonumber \\ & (A5) ~~~~ \forall x (x \cdot 0 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A6) ~~~~ \forall xy (x \cdot (y + 1) = (x \cdot y) + x) \nonumber...
