Penn State CTSI's BERD team will present fundamentals of statistical analysis including:

  • Types of data and types of variables (structured and unstructured data, data wrangling and cleaning, understanding the types of variables and why that matters)
  • Preliminary studies and tools (basic tools for describing your data and understanding the associations, and how preliminary studies be used to enhance your research)
  • Statistical inference (turning your research question into a statistical question, aspects to consider in choosing your statistical approaches, and understanding the scope of your conclusions)
