Power Analysis

[Glider]

Out of interest, is anyone here involved in research, and if so, do you consider it de rigueur to run power analyses to calculate your sample sizes?

[Glider]

So, I'm guessing that's a 'no' then.

I hate stats

[Glider]

Yep...most people seem to....can't think why though..

i used to love stats at A-level. but now its just boring. maybe the lecturer is boring. so many tests to learn. we get huge blocks of lecture notes. and i often miss the lectures cos i am too lazy to wake up at 11 am

[Dave]

heh, 11am. Gotta be up at 8 to get to my probability lecture.

 

Naturally, I dropped the module

 

(I hated it at A-level, that's not changed in the slightest)

i often dont go to bed at all so that i wont get up late and miss the exams. i did that two days in a row. ... and i needed to revise badly as well. i once went to lecture about 2 mins before it finished. just because i had to hand in a probability assignment. that module is over now. have statistics and mathematical structurs now. along with the core modules.
