Gender control variable: case unequal group sizes
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2019 2:48 am
Hello,
In my analysis, I used gender as a control variable and I got a statistically significant result. The problem is that in my sample male to female ration is about 1:5 which does not reflect the ration of the users of an applications, i.e. respondents of the survey. Considering this, can I still claim that the statistically significant result obtained from the control variable is meaningful?
Thanks all for any advice on this topic.
P.S. among all existing topics, I have not found the one that answers this question. I apologize if I overlooked the same existing topic - a reference to it will be much appreciated.
