A book that explains statistics in an extra easy way

1. the difference  between mean, mode and median
2. the importance of standard deviation
3. the concept of normal distribution
4. continuous/categorical variables
5. statistical significance (p value)
6. dependent and independent samples
THE STEPS OF A BASIC STATISTICAL ANALYSIS:
a. determine the type of the variables
b. check for the normality of distribution (Shapiro-Wilk p> 0.0)
c. determine if the datasets are independent
d. based on a-c, choose and perform the appropriate test
e. interpret the results

STATISTICAL METHODS COVERED IN THIS COURSE

# data[].attributes.body
1. DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS (mean, mode, median, dispersion)
2. COMPARING THE MEANS OF TWO OR MORE DATASETS (ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis)
3. ASSOCIATION BETWEEN TWO CONTINUOUS VARIABLES (correlation, regression)
4. ASSOCIATION BETWEEN TWO CATEGORICAL VARIABLES (chi-square)

By the end of the course the student will be able to use STATISTICA for Windows for the following:
- to give a basic description of a given dataset
- to compare two or more datasets and tell if they are statistically different
-to tell if two continuous variables are associated, and if they are, which one has an effect on the other
-to tell if two categorical variables are associated

Furthermore, the student will be able to apply these skills to analyze simple experimental datasets.

Quick note: I am updating this project to make it more engaging and more useful in classrooms. If you are a teacher or a student using this in class, I'd appreciate it if you would shoot me a quick note describing how you use it and what might make it more helpful: vigentyler@gmail.com. You can also email me if you're willing to test out the new features to provide feedback before they are released, or if you just want me to let you know when it is done.

The update will be released in 2024. Thanks! -Tyler
