Methods of Statistical Analysis

This week, I turned to the MOOC on Educational Data Mining put on by Baker at Coursera. Most of that course (like 98% of it) is dedicated to reviewing methods of statistical analysis that have been used in Educational Data Mining research. John and I started a page dedicated to reviewing these methods. The page is called Methodology. You can access it in the navigation box to the right. It will be a page in progress as I synthesize there what I am learning from the Coursera MOOC.

In the Methodology page we built, you will see major types of methods, broken down by sub-methods. Our purpose isn't to describe how to use the method, but rather to help someone get an idea of which type of method would be most useful for the research questions and data they are trying to tackle. We will describe what the method is, research questions the method could be used to answer, and how the results could be applied to improving learning. Anyways, keep tabs on its progress!
