Frequency Analysis Methods

Decent Essays

Methods Modeled as a two phase effort, this research project will initial employ quantitative methods to determine if a statistical significant relationship exists between how advanced and economy is and the age of its population. Two data sets will be analyzed with frequency analysis, bivariate linear regression, and hypothesis test based on interval analysis. The second, qualative phase of this research effort will employ a content analysis if authoritative literature sources designed to seek out links between older populations and current socioeconomic issues of importance affecting advanced economies today, and which will affect developing economies in the future. The first part of this research effort will seek to establish a …show more content…

The second set of data to be collected includes the ages of populations segregated by nationality. This data set is sourced from The World Bank as well. The categories employed are also defend by the World Bank: 0 to 14 years old, 15 to 65 years old, and over 65 years old ("World Development Indicators | DataBank," n.d.). Each nation has three data points, one each representing the percentage of each age groups within their population. Analysis methods employed are to include: A frequency analysis and analysis of distribution, depicted with histograms and box plots, portraying the distribution of the different age groups within the world population. Scatter diagrams to provide visualizations of the relationships between per capita GNI and the percentage of population in the three different age groups diagrams relating. Linear regression including trend lines, regression formals, and the coefficient of determination for each pair of variables visualized in the scatter diagrams. Cross tabulations, segregated into deciles, with individual cross tabulations for the four aggregates under study. A three dimensional bar chart, with accompanying data in tabular format visualizing the relationships between the mean percentage of age groups within the three income aggregates. Interval analysis with accompanying sample size analysis to provide margins of error based
