Hypotheses for the demonstration
- [Instructor] The BRFSS is a great data set because it provides so many useful variables for planning and analysis. This section will describe the two hypotheses selected to demonstrate in this course series. As you know, the second course in this series shows you how to do regression in SAS. Therefore, I had to come up with hypotheses that would be good at demonstrating both descriptive analysis and regression analysis. Descriptive analysis only needs a research aim, but regression analysis needs a hypothesis. This is a review from the prerequisite course, where I told you the components of the hypothesis, which are subpopulation, exposure, and disease, or outcome. First, in drawing my sample from the big BRFSS data set, I will need to be able to argue, I'm sampling from a particular population, to which I can generalize results. So this will need to be considered in the hypotheses I create for BRFSS. I need to ask myself, can I operationalize a particular sample that relates to a…
