    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 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.

    Really nice course! begins from basics but gives you a deeper understanding of concepts. Plus the quizzes are open for auditing (as one expects from an open science advocate)!

    Great course. Daniel explains everything clearly and with examples in R code which makes all of the concepts easier to understand. A must-take for experimental psychologists.

    Very good introduction course. An improvement could be to include more high level summaries of each sections. I think it could help students better organize their thoughts.

    I like this course so much, Prof. Jeff makes all lectures clearly, but some answers and details in quizs are not mentioned in video and I have some problems with them.
