Statistical Analysis Planning
Empowering your research by thinking ahead!
1-hour interactive presentation. 3 lessons introduce why statistical analysis planning matters, establish what to plan and when, and explore how to revise analysis plan responsibly. Spice up a lab meeting, teach a class, run a skill-building session for your team.
3-hour interactive presentation. 7 lessons include and continue the meeting version to deepen their understanding of how to write analysis plans and how collaboration can strengthen these plans. Participants learn how prospective registration can contribute to transparent reporting and how planning decisions and documentation facilitate clear manuscript reporting. Teach one week of class, or run an intensive workshop.
Asynchronous, online reference resource. 7 chapters with built-in activities expand upon content in the class version to support learners as they gain a deeper understanding of why statistical analysis planning matters and how to go about creating a plan that supports their research projects goals. Learn solo, assign it as coursework, or use it as a reference.

Unit Overview
What you will do
Every experiment starts with a research idea that then evolves into a plan. Somewhere in that plan there is a set of decisions about the analysis. What do you plan to measure? How? What will you do if there's missing data? An analysis plan addresses these questions and provides a record of the decisions made to analyze your results. It also provides a justification for why you handled your data the way you did. This unit walks through the planning process, from what to plan and when, to how to write a plan (including revisions!). It also demonstrates how collaboration and preregistration can strengthen plans that result in accurate, transparent manuscript reporting.
