I get a number error when I do the p-value step. In my data set my t-statistic is a negative number - I wonder if I need to add the ABS function as illustrated in the Spearman correlation video?
Interesting - my T.DIST gives the options (x, deg_freedom, cumulative) there is no tail option. I wonder if it's just due to version differences between my excel and the one in the tutorial...?
Hi, Thank you very much for this beneficial and concise lecture. I wonder if you can give a lecture about IBR (Integrated Biomarker Response). Thanks indeed,
Chale, please what does the p value mean? When it is less than 0.05 does it mean there is a high correlation? and when there is a negative correlation and the p value is greater than 0.05 what does it mean?
Excellent explanation. Thank you. Just one question, how I know if the two variables are actually correlating or not... what is the minimum value of correlation (r) that I need to obtain to say that the two variables are correlating? Thank you.
Thanks Diana. So, I actually have a video that is coming out tomorrow that will cover this in more detail - I recommend you watch it. But essentially, if you want to look to see if there is a statistically significant correlation, then you need to look at the p-value. Usually if p0.7 indicates a strong positive correlation.
Hi - in your other video for spearmans rs you used ABS in the formula for the t stat incase rs is negative. Is this the same case for pearsons t stat formula? how do you include abs?
Hi Nina. Yes it is also best to use here too. The ABS function just makes sure that the Pearson correlation coefficient is a positive number. Otherwise there may be an error. I forgot to add the ABS function when I made this video - doh
When I’m calculating the p value, when some numbers are negative it keeps coming up as “NUM” and I’m unsure how to fix that. When they’re all positive numbers it works fine
Hi Chloe. So this is a slight error on my part. The process I shown cannot use negative Pearson correlation coefficient values to calculate the P value. Instead, either manually change the negative correlation value to positive or use the =ABS formula in a new cell and use the cell containing the negative value as the input. The P value will be the same regardless of whether the same correlation value is negative or positive. So a correlation coefficient of -0.76 will give the same P value (when using the same degrees of freedom) when using a correlation coefficient of 0.76
As your p value is so small, it is not being displayed in decimal places in Excel. Right click on the cell and click on Format Cell. Then choose the style as number and select the number of decimals you want to see
Hello, For a Pearson correlation, the df is n-2. This is because there are two variables in a Pearson correlation (eg, BMI and age). Many thanks, Steven
For some reason, it does not present the option of a one tailed or a two tailed test on excel. Instead it comes with 1. cumulative frequency.... and 2. probability density. Edit: I clicked on T.DIST instead of TDIST.

@@StevenBradburn thank you so much for answering. You help me so much.. Big thanks 👍 I want to ask again please.. Is the Pearson coefficient is the same whether it's negative or positive right? But the impact is whether it related (+) or inversely related (-)?
@@adinugraha1276 the final P value will be the same. The positive or negaive correlation coefficient value relates to direction of the association between the two variables. Either a positive or negative association

be careful the 2 tailed TDIST command does not work with negative T statistic
Use the command =2*T.DIST.RT(ABS(Tstatistic),degreesFreedom)
Thanks Max. I realised this after I made the video (doh!). I've corrected the online guide to reflect this :) many thanks
What does "ABS" mean in this equation?

Simple to follow. Excellent presentation. Thank you
AMAZING! AND SUPER EASY! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! you saved me! I understood how to calculate like in 10 seconds!!!!!
You've been a lifesaver in my Stats for Behavioral Sciences class ( Psych/625) Next week will be my very last class... I may need this for my PsyD...
Such simplicity! I loved your video tutorial.
Thank you
Thank you so much. Very helpful and easy to follow.
Thanks in a million. Awesome. Where have you been all these years.
Thank you for this video, I did it step by step alongside your video and it really helped me, thanks again :D
Nice! I still like doing it longhand aided by Excel makes me remember things better than some canned software
I completely agree
Excellent explanation of how to perform the significance test in EXCEL 👍👍
Thanks very much for your explanation, I'd like to ask that the DF should always be -2?
You're welcome. Yes, for the Pearson correlation the DF is n-2 since there are two parameters in the test (variable 1 and variable 2)
I paid thousands of rupees to statistician to do this and results match! good video, thanks.
Thank you! Really helpful for my thesis! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Steven, Whats the difference this formula and CORREL in Excel ?
YOUR VIDEOS ARE HELPING ME A LOT THUS I DO SUBSCRIBE NOW. THANKFULLY STAY SAFE.

Chale, please what does the p value mean? When it is less than 0.05 does it mean there is a high correlation? and when there is a negative correlation and the p value is greater than 0.05 what does it mean?
Thank you
what if our sample size is 360? do i have to use t distribution?
Great, thank you
when finding the t statistics there is a number error, what should i do?
sooo detailed!! this helped me a lot
You are very welcome
For more than 2 variables how to find out p values of pearsons correlation at a go?
I got -ve t value and cannot move further to find the p as
Great job.
thank you it is very helpful :)
Your videos are excellent.
If the correlation coefficient (r) is negative I get the error in the p value of. # NUM. How can I address this please?
Apologies about this! I realised after I made the video. If you look at the top comment here by Max, it will explain how to correct :)
@@StevenBradburn Thanks, I wasn't sure if when he cites ABS that was a function.
Thank you but what is the conclusions ,does bmi correlates age?
So if my level of significance (alpha) was 0.05, then there is a significant positive correlation between age and BMI in my sample since p

Hello, how to do this if my age group is in groups ? Like 18-25, 26-35? Please tell
THANK YOU! You saved me!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
thank you maybe now I can get my degree!
Can this be used for multiple variables by copying and pasting across rows?
I think if you are careful about what you are copying and pasting, then sure
