Dr. Alex Bajcz has provided all FWCB students and staff with a valuable new resource to assist them in their analysis and research. His new guide, A Beginner's Guide to Building a Statistical Model, is sure to help current and future students!
For many grad students, it can feel like a project is finally "over '' when the data have been gathered, entered, and cleaned. It is with some dismay, then, that they come to learn the analysis portion of a project can take considerable time, attention, and consideration! How does one go from "data'' to "final results?" What considerations should be made, and in what order?
This guide, written by MAISRC's Quantitative Ecologist Dr. Alex Bajcz, outlines his personal "workflow" for moving through this critical phase of a project. If nothing else, it is designed to protect a researcher from having to redo their analyses at a later stage, from struggling to figure out what to do next, or failing to consider an important factor early enough.
