    Session 1: Power Analysis for ANOVA and Repeated Measures ANOVA

    Power analysis is routinely used to determine if the sample size is sufficiently large to detect the treatment effects for a given significance level. This workshop will cover two commonly used designs: ANOVA and rANOVA. The fundamentals of power analysis will be presented. Several motivating examples will be given. GPower will be introduced and illustrated during the workshop.

     

    Session 2: Data Visualizations with R Shiny

    Shiny is an R package that makes it easy to build interactive web apps from R. Shiny combines the computational power of R with the interactivity of the modern web. This workshop will introduce the basics of R Shiny, including the basic structure of a shiny app and how to make interactive visualizations. Participants are expected to have some beginner level coding experience in R.�

     

    Session 3: Missing Data in Surveys

    Missing data are frequently encountered in surveys. This workshop will provide a brief overview of survey data and introduce types of missing data mechanisms. Several statistical methods in analyzing missing data will be discussed. Illustrative case studies will be presented in analyzing missing data using SPSS.
