SUMMARY OF LECTURES

T TEST
A t-test is used as a hypothesis testing tool, which allows testing of an assumption applicable to a
population. A t-test looks at the t-statistic, the t-distribution values, and the degrees of freedom to
determine the probability of difference between two sets of data.
The t score is a ratio between the difference between two groups and the difference within the
groups.
Large tscore means groups are different while small tscore tells you that the groups are similar.
There are three main types of t-test:
An Independent Samples t-test compares the means for two groups.
A Paired sample t-test compares means from the same group at different times (say, one year
apart).
A One sample t-test tests the mean of a single group against a known mean.

CORRELATION
Correlation test is used to evaluate the association between two or more variables. For instance,
if we are interested to know whether there is a relationship between the heights of fathers and
sons, a correlation coefficient can be calculated to answer this question.
There are 3 types of correlation:
First type is [positive/negative/no/perfect]
2nd is the linear and non-linear
The 3rd one is the [simple/multiple/partial]
the coefficient of correlation (or correlation coefficient) is a statistic which indicates an
association between the independent variable and the dependent variable. The coefficient of
correlation is represented by "r" and it has a range of -1.00 to +1.00.
the coefficient of determination, denoted R2 or r2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion
of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).
MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION
Measurement and evaluation are independent concepts.
Evaluation is a process that uses measurements. In the evaluation process, information is
interpreted according to established standards so that decisions can be made.
Measurement determines the attributes or dimensions of an object, skill or knowledge and
accurately gather data about the performances or tasks completed by someone and that can be
used for future studies.
A Test is a tool which is used to evaluate the skills, performance, and reliability of the task
completed by a sports person.
BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) It is the value derived from the mass (weight) and height of an
individual.
There are 3 body types: ectomorph, the skinny ones. Mesomorph are the average and the
endomorph, the chubby ones. Somatotypes means human body shape and physique type.
Anthropometric measurement measurements of height, weight, arm, leg length, waist
circumference and skin folds etc.

REGRESSION
Regression Testing is defined as a type of software testing to confirm that a recent program or
code change has not adversely affected existing features.
Regression Testing is nothing but a full or partial selection of already executed test cases which
are re-executed to ensure existing functionalities work fine.
This testing is done to make sure that new code changes should not have side effects on the
existing functionalities. It ensures that the old code still works once the new code changes are
done.
Regression testing is re-running functional and non-functional tests to ensure that previously
developed and tested software still performs after a change. If not, that would be called
a regression. Changes that may require regression testing include bug fixes, software
enhancements, configuration changes, and even substitution of electronic components.As
regression test suites tend to grow with each found defect, test automation is frequently
involved. Sometimes a change impact analysis is performed to determine an appropriate subset
of tests (non-regression analysis
Regression tests can be broadly categorized as functional tests or unit tests. Functional tests
exercise the complete program with various inputs. Unit tests exercise individual
functions, subroutines, or object methods. Both functional testing tools and unit-testing tools
tend to be automated and are often third-party products that are not part of the compiler suite. A
functional test may be a scripted series of program inputs, possibly even involving an automated
mechanism for controlling mouse movements and clicks. A unit test may be a set of separate
functions within the code itself or a driver layer that links to the code without altering the code
being tested.
