Stats……do we need them? | emskirk

https://emskirk.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/stats-do-we-need-them

For my psychology blogs. Stats……do we need them? I would say that the initial answer from a psychologist would be yes of course you do. We would need the stats to tell us what we have concluded from the experiment. OK so maybe not everyone will be thinking about what the t-test can tell us or the p-values can show us, but when it comes down to it, if there was no data then there would be no experiment right?

Just another WordPress.com site. Can correlation show causality? Correlation can be defined as, in a statistical sense, the degree of linear relationship between two variables. Surely, by now, as we have had over our school years, this rammed down our throat; we want to shout NO at this answer. I suppose ideally, I should sit here and rant (like your old teachers used to) about how correlations DO NOT show causality. I was going to do this but. Apparently, correlations CAN show causality!
