how to proof the trend of two columns of data?

5 messages · Rui Barradas, vod vos, David L Carlson

Hello everyone,



If there are two columns, one is age (numeric, cut to several groups), the other is hair color type(factor: yellow, black, white). 



If the age column is not normal distributed, which statistic method should use to prove the trend relationship between them, for example, the older has more probability of white hair type? Are there any existed R package to figure out this situation?



Thank you.

The list does not assist with homework problems. If this is not a class assignment, you should be more specific about what you have tried and provide a reproducible example (a sample of the real data or some made-up data that has the same columns and data types). In the meantime you could also try the following R command:

as far as I know,  ?kruskal.test will show us the differences between three or more groups. But it could show the trend.

If you use ?lm, it's the residuals that should be normally distributed, 

not age. 

You can also use ?glm with a binomial link, in which case you should 

recode type as white/not white. 



Hope this helps,

As Rui noted, to get a trend you need to focus on percent gray vs age since hair color is not an ordinal/rank variable. Then use a measure of association designed for rank variables of which there are many: Spearman?s r, Kendall?s tau, gamma, tau-c, Somers-d. All of them are available in package DescTools.
