LA 10001 – SOS Version LEC-01 Althoff Statistics- Overview How Do We Summarize/Communicate Data?
Observational vs. Experimental Studies • Observational: no controls (usually), trying to determine basics, learn patterns, trends, characteristics • Experimental: control (usually), have basic knowledge of subject that enables one to “separate” into treatment groups
Observational vs. Experimental Studies • Observational: generally summarize data using descriptive statistics • Experimental: determine if differences between treatments are “real” using inferential statistics
