Symbol | Explanation |
OR | OR: Odds ratio in binary logistic regression. Happiness is a binary or dichotomous variable with Happy =1 and Unhappy=0. OR < 1 indicates that the odds of being happy-to-being unhappy decreases by a factor OR when 1) the corresponding metric correlate increases by one unit 2) the corresponding category of a categorical correlate is compared to the reference category. OR > 1 indicates an increase by a factor OR for both the above cases. |
r | PRODUCT-MOMENT CORRELATION COEFFICIENT (Also "Pearson's correlation coefficient' or simply 'correlation coefficient') Type: test statistic. Measurement level: Correlate: metric, Happiness: metric Range: [-1; +1] Meaning: r = 0 « no correlation , r = 1 « perfect correlation, where high correlate values correspond with high happiness values, and r = -1 « perfect correlation, where high correlate values correspond with low happiness values. |
