- Jacob Cohen (1990, Things I've Learnt So Far): Tips on the application of statistics in psychology
- Daniel Wright (Making Friends with your Data): A great set of tips on analysing and writing up analyses in psychology. This quote gives you a flavour of the article: "Conducting data analysis is like drinking a fine wine. It is important to swirl and sniff the wine, to unpack the complex bouquet and to appreciate the experience. Gulping the wine doesn’t work." (p. 134)

APA Style in General
- Cash (2009, Preparation of APA Style Research Manuscript): General tips on APA style and other factors from an editors perspective. It's a useful check-list.

first of all, congratulations for your website!
ReplyDeleteI've a question for you: what kind of analysis can I do when I analyze the data of a 2up-1down staircase method? Can you suggest me some resources for this analysis in R?
Psychometic function, or threeshold detection?
Really thanks for your answer, and happy new year ;)
Happy new year. I'm not really involved in psychophysics research.

Hi Jeromy,
ReplyDeletethank you for your answer, and link :)
HI Jeromy
ReplyDeleteCould you please advise - can factor analysis be run if I have dyadic data? To make it clearer - I'd like to factor analyse one of the scales on my questionnare - but the data is from husbands and wives? Does independence assumption hold for FA?
Thanks a lot!

I have to write an integration paper in psychology. i have to pick a chapter and be specific about how that chapter is related to every other chapter in the book. It's really not my thing and I don't want to read the entire book. Any suggestions? Help!!
