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
- The course ends with ten capstone exercises which are presented (with solutions) in a separate Lesson 5. These exercises provide an opportunity to practice the lessons learned in this course in real-world scenarios.
The course was developed using JMP version 15 with minor adaptations for JMP version 16. Additional slight menu changes occur with version 17. Most of the material remains unchanged for JMP version 17, but the Sample Size Explorer is one new tool you should check out. Learn more about the Sample Size Explorer here. Other new features in the platforms used in this course can be found by going to Help > New Features from within JMP.
