I'm trying to post more but all I talk about is ...
Man this fucking experiment I don’t even know how to calm down over having to reject the null hypothesis because of being off by 0.0525.
And yet I know exactly why it came out that way and there is one subject to blame. that one person. whose results were backward of a) the desired results/hypothesis, b) EVERYONE ELSE IN THE STUDY.
Small sample sizes are the bane of my existence.
(I would be less tetchy if it weren’t my third analysis today and all of the hypotheses have failed. At least these are other people’s tests, if this were my own data I would be sobbing right now instead of just epic levels of frustrated. One good thing about being the number runner and not the actual experimenter. The only good thing.)
