Survey-PHREG

Sağkalım · Ağırlıklı

Survey-PHREG is one of the statistical analyses automatically performed in MerQur. This page provides a representative illustration of how the analysis is applied to a sample data set from the field of Agriculture, Forestry and Aquaculture, how the MerQur output would appear, and how it would be reported in APA 7 format.

🎯 What is it for?

Survey-PHREG automatically performs all required assumption checks (normality, homogeneity of variance, etc.) for the relevant data type in the background and presents the results with a clear table + chart. Automatic interpretation to the APA 7 standard, effect sizes such as Cohen’s d/η²/R², and 95% confidence intervals are reported.

📌 When is it used?

In the statistical analysis of measurements belonging to the Agriculture, Forestry and Aquaculture field
To produce APA 7 compliant result tables for academic publication
In hypothesis testing and decision-making processes
After selecting an appropriate method in undergraduate / master’s / doctoral theses

📐 Assumptions

Appropriate scale — Variables must be at the scale level required by the analysis (nominal/ordinal/interval/ratio)
Independent observations — Observations must come from mutually independent individuals
Adequate sample — The minimum n requirement for the analysis must be met
Outlier check — Outliers must be detected and evaluated

If the assumptions are violated, MerQur automatically steers you toward a non-parametric or robust alternative.

🛠 How to do it in MerQur

Load the data. Select the sample file from the File → Open menu. MerQur automatically detects the column types.

Select the analysis. Choose Survey-PHREG from the left sidebar.

Panel assignments (form fields in the program):

duration_col: None
event_col: None
feature_cols: ['psu', 'yas']
weight_col: agirlik
cluster_col: None
strata_col: None

Optional settings. Effect size ✓ · 95% confidence interval ✓ · Assumption checks (automatic).

Press the ▶ Run button. The results are generated automatically as a table + chart.

📄 Export to Word. A report in APA 7 format with italic statistical symbols.

MerQur Output (Illustrative)

SURVEY-PHREG RESULT ───────────────────────────────────────────── Data: n = 300, 6 columns Test statistic: 12.43 p-value: < .001 Effect size: medium-large Detailed results are generated automatically with MerQur’s ▶ Run command.

MerQur Interpretation (Plain Language)

Survey-PHREG revealed a statistically significant finding among the relevant variables (p < .001). Detailed results and visualizations are generated automatically in MerQur’s output panel.

APA 7 Interpretation (Academic Format · Illustrative)

According to the Survey-PHREG results, a statistically significant effect/relationship was observed on sure_ay (p < .001). The effect size was moderate-to-large, indicating that the findings carry practical significance. MerQur’s APA 7 Word output can be used for a detailed report.

⚠ Common Mistakes

Specifying the data type incorrectly (e.g., loading a categorical variable as numeric)
Skipping the assumption checks and looking directly at the p-value
Not reporting the effect size — APA 7 requires both p and the effect size
Not applying a Type I error correction (Bonferroni/Tukey) in multiple comparisons
Not switching to a non-parametric alternative when n is insufficient
