Examination of advanced experimental design and data analysis methods commonly used in psychological research, including analysis of variance (ANOVA), multiple regression/correlation (MRC), and linear-mixed effects (LME) modeling. A major component involves examination of the statistical methodology and assumptions underlying each of the designs.
