Event Description
This workshop can be attended either on-site (in Amsterdam) or online.
The main purpose of this workshop is to familiarize participants with the key contents of “Discovering Statistics Using JASP“, the new textbook by Andy Field, Johnny van Doorn, and EJ Wagenmakers. The workshop shows how JASP can be used to explain key statistical concepts such as confidence intervals, standard errors, p-values, and power. In addition, the workshop will feature a speedrun through the textbook, with regular pauses for hands-on exercises.
Target audience
This workshop is ideal for teachers who are considering to use “Discovering Statistics Using JASP” for their courses, and for students (and others) who wish to improve their general understanding of statistics. No prior experience with statistical techniques or JASP is required.
Participants should bring a laptop with the latest version of JASP installed. Plenary sessions will be given by Eric-Jan Wagenmakers and Johnny van Doorn.
We aim to make use of a number of tools to create a smooth, fun, and interactive learning experience. For those participating online, lectures will be held on Zoom, and video recordings will be made available to workshop participants. Moreover, you will be invited to an online workspace where our team will assist you and answer any questions you might have about the materials.
We strive to lower barriers to workshop participation based on cost for researchers around the world who may be unable, or have limited ability, to cover the workshop fees. If you lack funding despite exhausting all alternative funding sources and struggle to pay the workshop fees, you may be eligible for a (partial) fee waiver. You can contact us at events@jasp-stats.org.
