Quantitative Analysis with Dr. DeRossett

Data Literacy

Monday: Dr. DeRossett’s Presentation

Wednesday: Dr. DeRossett’s Presentation

Friday:

  • As a group, come up with a hypothetical use case for quantitative analysis.
    • What is the problem/conceptual definition?
    • What data do you need to solve it?
    • How will you operationalize your variable?
      • How might you make it measurable?
    • What are the independent/dependent variable?
    • What type of quantitative analysis would you use?
      • Chi-square? T-test? Correlation? Regression?
      • A combination of the above?
      • Why?
    • How would those solve your problem? What would the solution tell you?
  • Do not give your presentation as an answer to each of these questions.
  • Give a presentation that answers these questions in a compelling narrative as if you are trying to persuade a client to hire you to solve their problem.
