Statistics and Research Methods by Jake Kurczek


Below are a number of guides and links to help you with statistics and research methods.

MAVIS: Meta-Analysis

This shiny app allows you to conduct meta analysis as well as inter-rater reliability, publication bias and calculate effect sizes.

Data Sources

Free internet sources for data

Interpreting random effects in linear mixed-effect models

This blog helps explain a difficult statistical method.

Averages and Likert Scale Data

This book presents better ways to analyze Likert scale data than averages.

Frequnetism and Bayesianism: A practical Introduction

A 5 part series on two approaches to statistics.

More Power 6.0

MorePower 6.0 is a flexible freeware statistical calculator that computes sample size, effect size, and power statistics for factorial ANOVA designs.

PANGEA

Power ANalysis for GEneral Anova designs

Animated Mean and Sample Size

A quick experiment displaying the impact of sample size on estimates we make from the data.

Test of Insufficient Variance - TIVA

A tool to detect questionable research practice

MetaLab

Interactive tools for meta-analysis, power analysis and experimental planning.

Interpreting Cohen's d effect

An interactive visualization for interpreting Cohen's d

Data Generator for Teaching Statistics

Helpful for creating datasets for specific tests

Simulate from Existing Data

A tools to simulate existing datasets

Draw my data

A tool to draw (simulate) your data

Power Estimator

Sample size estimation by simulation! (in R)

How many trials should each participant do in an experiment?

A discussion of power looking at trials instead of participants

Estimation Statistics

This site provides you with a web application to plot experimental data from an estimation statistics perspective.

This document is summarised in the table below. It shows the linear models underlying common parametric and “non-parametric”" tests.

SimData

This tutorial details a few ways Lisa Debruin simulates data. She'll be using some functions from my faux package to make it easier to generate sets of variables with specific correlations.

R Best Practices

his post provides a discussion of best practices1 for developing code-based projects and for writing R code in a research setting with an eye toward proactively avoiding common pitfalls.

AnovaPower

The goal of ANOVApower is to easily simulate ANOVA designs and calculate the observed power.

Discovering Statistics

Professor Andy Field has a great book, An Adventure in Statistics, and R package, adventr, to help understand statistics. The A-Z list provides in-depth information on each subject.

Rice Virtual Lab in Statistics

An online stats book as well as a number of case studies with real research studies and data.

psyTeachR

Teaching reproducible research using R

From Data to Viz

Beautiful website showing how to plot data the correct way.
