This week you are interested in performing discriminant function analysis for two datasets.

In the first dataset (Data Week 9a.sav), you are classifying I/O psychology faculty members into two groups – research scientists and applied practitioners. You have obtained scores on four variables from 50 I/O psychology professors, including a number of publications in last 2 years, amount of grant funding generated in last 5 years, mean teaching evaluation scores for last 3 semesters, and a number of student committees served on in the last 5 years. University administrators also provided categorization for “type” of position for each faculty participant.

In the second dataset (Data Week 9b.sav), you are distinguishing between three types of basketball coaches – coaches who build character, but do not have a winning record; coaches who do not focus on character building, but do have a winning record; and coaches who build character and have a winning record. You have obtained data on seven variables from 100 coaches, including perceived support from alumni, number of ranked players recruited from high school teams, a measure of problem-focused coping, a rating of likeability by current team, a measure of social support offered by coach, a measure of coach persistence, and a measure of leadership style. Interviews were conducted to helped you to categorize coaches into one of the three target types.

For this assignment, you will analyze each set of data and summarize your results in one 3 to 5-page paper.

Part A Discriminant Function Analysis I

1. Descriptive Data Analysis
1. Perform descriptive data analysis on all variables in the Data Week 9a.sav dataset. When possible, include appropriate graphs to help illustrate the dataset.
2. Write a one to a two-paragraph summary of the results from the descriptive analysis.
3. Create an APA style table that presents descriptive statistics for the sample.
4. Include results, chart, and summary in your Word document (lastnamefirstinitialPSY7117-9.doc) under the heading Part A. Discriminant Function Analysis I: Descriptive Data Analysis
2. Conduct Discriminant Function Analysis I
1. Conduct a discriminant analysis to distinguish between two categories of I/O psychology faculty: research scientists and teaching faculty. Please include the output that includes the research scientist group mean a number of publications; grant money univariate ANOVA F statistic; and, the discriminant function.
2. Identify the percentage of research scientists correctly classified and the percentage of teaching faculty correctly classified. What is the overall percentage of professor correctly classified as teaching faculty and research scientists?
3. Identify the predictor variables that contribute the most to discriminating between the teaching faculty and research scientists?
4. Create a combined groups plot that displays the classification of the two groups.
5. Write the results using APA style, and then interpret them.
6. Include results, plot, and summary in your Word document (lastnamefirstinitialPSY7117-9.doc) under the heading Part A. Conduct Discriminant Function Analysis I

Part B Discriminant Function Analysis II

1. Descriptive Data Analysis
1. Perform descriptive data analysis on all variables in the Data Week 9b.sav dataset. When possible, include appropriate graphs to help illustrate the dataset.
2. Write a one to a two-paragraph summary of the results from the descriptive analysis.
3. Create an APA style table that presents descriptive statistics for the sample.
4. Include results, chart, and summary in your Word document (lastnamefirstinitialPSY7107-9.doc) under the heading Part B. Discriminant Function Analysis I: Descriptive Data Analysis
2. Conduct Discriminant Function Analysis II
1. Conduct a discriminate analysis to determine if both discriminate functions should be interpreted.  Be sure to show your results.
2. Interpret the discriminant function or functions.
3. Write a results section based on your analysis using APA style.
4. Include results, chart, and summary your Word document (lastnamefirstinitialPSY7117-9.doc) under the heading Part B. Conduct Discriminant Function Analysis II.
