Contents

Fifteen chapters across five units. Each chapter runs two or three lectures of about ninety minutes, and each lecture carries its own practice and assignment.

A Foundations

Getting R running, then writing code and handling data well enough to start asking questions of it.

01 Getting Started aIntroduction bWorking in RStudio 02 Projects & Programming aReproducible Workflows bWriting R Code 03 Data & Exploration aData Types & Packages bImporting & Exploring

Alongside this unit: Foundations of Data Science, a full course on R and the tidyverse

B Inference

Where an estimate comes from, how much of it to believe, and how to compare two or more groups.

04 Sampling & Estimation aPopulations & Samples bConfidence Intervals 05 Hypothesis Testing aNHST & p-values bCorrelation & Inference 06 Group Comparisons aComparing Two Groups bComparing Many Groups cANOVA Extensions

Unit B Translation Activity

C The Linear Model

One framework, regression, stretched to cover categorical predictors, interactions, and curves.

07 Regression aSimple Regression bCategorical Predictors cMultiple Regression 08 Moderation aContinuous Moderation bCategorical Moderation 09 Nonlinearity aPolynomial Regression bPiecewise & Splines (coming soon)

Unit C Translation Activity

D Data Problems and Robust Inference

What to do when the assumptions those models rest on do not hold, and how to tell that they do not.

10 Model Diagnostics aForm & Collinearity bResiduals & Outliers 11 Bootstrap & Robustness (coming soon) aThe Bootstrap bRobust Inference 12 Missing Data (coming soon) aMissing Data Theory bImputation & FIML

Unit D Translation Activity

E Designing and Reporting Studies

Measuring well, planning a study large enough to answer its question, and reporting what came back.

13 Reliability (coming soon) aInternal Consistency bRaters & Attenuation 14 Power & Preregistration aPower Analysis bQuestionable Practices 15 Reporting & Reviewing aReporting Results bReviewing Claims (coming soon)

After this course: Generalized Linear Models (coming soon), then Multilevel Modeling
