Workshops

The Analysis Factor offers Webinar workshops on a variety of statistical topics.

Karen Grace-Martin conducts each webinar live. You can attend either by phone or over the internet as you see what is happening on my computer screen. Webinars are highly interactive--you can see my power point and ask questions during the session, yet you never have to leave your house or office. 

Save on travel expenses and fit it into your regular schedule. And because you’re not travelling, we don’t have to concentrate an overwhelming amount of information into one day. We can spread it out in digestible amounts.

And best of all, unlike live workshops, the presentations will be recorded. You will get the recording from every session, so if you miss one, or need to review the material in a few months, you’ll have it forever.

You will also learn about the old, simple techniques and how they solve problems with missing data, the new problems they create, and the situations in which they work well enough.

Calculating Power and Sample Size This 2-hour workshop will get you up to speed on power, sample size, and how to calculate them. You will learn how to calculate simple sample estimates by hand and more complicated ones using specialized software.
