Hi,
I am really struggling with statistics and I don't think it is even that difficult but I would be very grateful for any help!
So, I have as my dependent variables a continuous list of policy scores which I developed, these can be considered continuous.
I have some independent variables which are categorical e.g. political party, county council or unitary authority etc
How can i test if there is a relationship between them? Which tests do I used? I did all my work using chi-squared but apparently that is when they are both categorical so is wrong!
Also, I have one other set of continuous independent variables (population data) - I used Pearson's correlation - is that correct?
Thanks so much in advance!!!
Ben
