MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS

Introduction :

            Multivariate analysis is statistical methods that allow the simultaneous investigation of more than two variables. Two basic groups of multivariate techniques are classified. dependable methods and interdependable methods.

NULL HYPOTHESIS AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

Introduction

                   When a researcher observes known facts and takes up a problem for analysis, he first has to start somewhere and this point of start is the hypothesis.

            When a research observes known facts and takes up a problem for analysis, he first has to start somewhere and this point of start is the hypothesis. In other words, one has to process to formulate tentative solutions as soon as the problem to be tackled is finalised.

Operant Conditioning (B.F. Skinner)

The theory of B.F. Skinner is based upon the idea that learning is a function of change in overt behavior. Changes in behavior are the result of an individual's response to events (stimuli) that occur in the environment. A response produces a consequence such as defining a word, hitting a ball, or solving a math problem. When a particular Stimulus-Response (S-R) pattern is reinforced (rewarded), the individual is conditioned to respond. The distinctive characteristic of operant conditioning relative to previous forms of behaviorism (e.g., connectionism, drive reduction) is that the organism can emit responses instead of only eliciting response due to an external stimulus.
