Ximena Reynafarje– First baby stats. Stats concepts and principles.– Stats methods for research

• Focused on maths

• No critical thinking

• Simple ex => understand implementation of theory

• Starting from research question => problem solving => design

• Basic principles should be understood, without prerequisites

– More emphasis on practical ex• Recognition of similarity between ex

– Optimal compromise between too practical and too theoretical• Range of ex of any application field

– What to do with repeated measures?• Autocorrelation?

• Add extra modules?

• CRBD

• Chisq indep test for contingency tables

• Excercises in XLS. Stats add-on.

• Intuitive approach. One-factor-at-a-time.

• Objective: do analysis independly.

– Epidemiology, only course that builds further on stats concept
