Understanding Statistics & Experimental Design
This lecture covers basic probability theory, signal detection theory, statistics in a nutshell, multiple testing, ANOVA, experimental design, correlations, PCA, and meta-statistics. It explains how to compare tree heights, perform ANOVA, and interpret F-distribution. Worked examples and assumptions of ANOVA are discussed. The lecture also delves into post-hoc tests like the Scheffé test and repeated measures ANOVA. A hypothetical scenario involving superpowers is used to illustrate statistical concepts. The importance of accurately reporting statistical values and possible solutions to reduce reporting errors are highlighted.
