11. Monday 7 Nov: report discussion 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?
