We’re excited to bring you this free e-learning course on Statistical Decisions Using ANOVA and Regression. The course includes many topics in the fundamentals of statistics, and most lessons build on the lessons before.
This is a course you should probably take in order.
- Lesson 1 is an introduction to Statistical Concepts, Descriptive Statistics, Inferential Statistics, Hypothesis Tests, and the One-Sample t-Test. Keywords: Assessing Normality, Standard Error, Confidence Intervals, One- and Two-Tailed Tests
- Lessons 2 is about ANOVA, including how to deal with Multiple Comparisons and solve for anticipated Power or Sample Size requirements. Keywords: Comparing Group Means, Turkey HSD, Bonferroni, Conservative, Liberal, Experiment-Wise Error Rate
- Lesson 3 covers regression, beginning with Scatterplots and Correlation, then introducing Simple Linear Regression, and adding complexity with Polynomial Regression. Keywords: Least Squares, Sums of Squares
- Lesson 4 covers additional complexity: Model Building for Multiple Linear Regression, Combining Factors in Multi-Way ANOVA, Evaluating Assumptions, Model Interpretation, and what to do When Things Go Wrong. Keywords: Interactions, Profiler, Box-Cox Transformation, Collinearity, VIF, Mahalanobis and Jackknife Distance Statistics, Influence, Leverage
- Videos of the solutions to the capstone practices in Lesson 5 can be found in the Learning Center.
