Sample size estimates are one of those data analysis tasks that look straightforward, but once you try to do one, make you want to bang your head against the computer in frustration. Or, maybe 
that’s just me.
Regardless of how they make you feel, they are super important to do for your study before you collect the data.
I recently held a free webinar in our The Craft of Statistical Analysis program about Binary, Ordinal, and Nominal Logistic Regression.
It was a record crowd and we didn’t get through everyone’s questions, so I’m answering some here on the site. They’re grouped by topic, and you will probably get more out of it if you watch the webinar recording. It’s free.
The following questions refer to this logistic regression model: (more…)
In this video I will answer another question from a recent webinar, Random Intercept and Random Slope Models.
We are answering questions here because we had over 500 people live on the webinar so we didn’t have time to get through all the questions.

Ah, logarithms. They were frustrating enough back in high school. (If you even got that far in high school math.)
And they haven’t improved with age, now that you can barely remember what you learned in high school.
And yet… they show up so often in data analysis.
If you don’t quite remember what they are and how they work, they can make the statistical methods that use them seem that much more obtuse.
So we’re going to take away that fog of confusion about exponents and logs and how they work. (more…)

If you missed the webinar live, this and the other questions in this series may make more sense if you watch that first. It was part of our free webinar series, The Craft of Statistical Analysis, and you can sign up to get the free recording, handout, and data set at this link:
