Welcome to the course Statistics for PER. This course is intended to acquaint you with the most common statistical techniques you are likely to use here at UW as well as some you may encounter in the literature.
Each week in class we will discuss a question that a statistical test could help us answer, decide what tests to use, research the underlying models and assumptions, and generate a plan for conducting the test. One pair of participants will then conduct the test (using this fake data set) and report back the following week, responding to these questions. After the report, we will get started on the next research question. We'll see how this goes and adjust if needed.
We will make use of this flow chart from Rosner's Biostatistics (I'll leave my copy in Grand Central).
A good online resource for explaining the underlying logic is Seltman's Experimental Design and Analysis. Lots of good calculators can be found at VassarStats.
