Week 11 Discussion: Categorical Data Analysis
FROM the INSTRUCTOR: Please remember to include key data points in your narrative. It is not enough to refer the reader to a table/figure/chart. Also, please make sure you describe what the data mean. For example, if you are sharing an effect size, you would share the numeric value and indicate what it means within the context of the data. We wouldn’t just say the effect size is large – indicate what that means.
Here’s data sets for you!
