Learning Outcomes

  • identify key elements in a prose research question or data description (cases/ experimental units, variables, types of variables/ levels of measurement) and make inferences about implicit causal assumptions and parameter of interest.
  • formulate hypotheses symbolically and in writing.
  • make analysis plans and combine statistical power analysis and real-world constraints to develop sample size targets.
  • construct detailed research action places for choosing statistics, implementing the proposed statistics, and testing the proposed hypotheses.
  • devise and defend a plan for managing missing data.
  • create outlines for reporting and interpreting results, as well as skeleton tables and graphs.
  • identify key elements in output, report accurately and succinctly upon them, and evaluate their implications for hypotheses.
  • demonstrate ability to use a reference manager program.
  • demonstrate ability to organize a multi-investigator project through file organization and management.
