Discovering Statistics with R Guide

This document outlines the steps of the scientific method for conducting statistical analysis using R. It involves creating a testable hypothesis with independent and dependent variables, choosing an acceptable probability of error, collecting data of sufficient sample size to achieve statistical power, and then plotting, distributing, and calculating various descriptive statistics of the data including the mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, skew, kurtosis, range, quartiles and interquartile range. Effect sizes are defined as small at r=.10, medium at r=.30 and large at r=.50.

Discovering statistics using R

This is the scientific method:


- Create a testable hypothesis with independent variable(s) and dependent variable
- Choose an acceptable probability of type I error, getting a false positive of say
5%
Due to a large sample size, even though something is statistically
significant, it may be a very small and unimportant effect
r = .10 small effect
r = .30 medium effect
r = .50 large effect
- Collect data
You can calculate the sample size necessary to achieve a given level of
statistical power
- Plot data
- Make a frequency distribution
- Calculate mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, skew, kurtosis,
range, quartiles, interquartile range
