讲座内容简介：
An experiment is a research technique where variation in data is examined, usually under the full control of
the experimenter. The experimenter is often interested in the effect of some intervention (usually referred to
as the "treatment") on the experimental “units.” In the social and management sciences, these experimental
units are usually people. An experiment is a very powerful technique for exploring causal relationships.
However, it can be very easy to make basic errors that negate the value of the technique, so careful attention
needs to be paid to their design.
This three-hour workshop will cover the concept of variability in data, and explore the options available in
the design of experiments, including basic designs, factorial designs, block designs, and repeated measures
designs. Specific statistical techniques developed for the analysis of experimental data will also be
introduced and explained.
The workshop will be presented in English. Handouts will be provided.
