Intermediate-level Reading Research: Understanding p-values, NNTs and more!
Have you begin to read research, but you’re swamped in a sea of statistics? Are you trying to make sense of a study, but you don’t know your odds ratio from your confidence interval? You’re in luck! This program takes you through many of the basic statistical concepts found in today’s research and focuses more on the meaning than the math and gets to the bottom line. If you’ve always wanted to know what some of these numbers mean and more importantly, what they should mean to you, then odd are this class is for you.
