About the Course

This course aims to help you to draw better statistical inferences from empirical research. First, we will discuss how to correctly interpret
p-values, effect sizes, confidence intervals, Bayes Factors, and likelihood ratios, and how these statistics answer different questions you might
be interested in. Then, you will learn how to design experiments where the false positive rate is controlled, and how to decide upon the sample
size for your study, for example in order to achieve high statistical power. Subsequently, you will learn how to interpret evidence in the scientific
literature given widespread publication bias, for example by learning about p-curve analysis. Finally, we will talk about how to...

Excellent explanations. Strong examples. Helpful exercises. Highly recommended for anyone who ever has to conduct inferential statistics or read anything that reports a p value or bayes factor.

Excellent course. The lecturer has written code snippets that let the students visualize the meaning and interrelationship of p-values confidence-intervals power effect-size bayesian-inference.

It was nice. I initially hoped the course would have made some technical details intuitively graspable, but it was fine as it is.

The course was very useful, I enjoyed Daniel's advice. However, I wasn't able to make R work, so I couldn't do the exams.

The video is ok, but it lacks a lot of details in calculation. The assignment is very confusing because some questions refer to some 'previous' statement while fail to clarify which is related.

Week 7 did not add any value to the course.

I dropped the course at Lecture 1.2 when it was supposed to really teach me what is p-value but it failed. A 20 min video without telling much about p-value and also adding more confusion and unanswered questions at the end. Like what is p-value distribution?

I expected to receive a decent step by step tutorial on statistics starting from basics but it was just another convoluted stuff on statistics.
