Student methods consultation

We can answer questions regarding:

• Planning of the study design (e.g. power calculation)
• Selection of appropriate statistical methods
• Data preparation
• Performing the statistical analysis
• Advice on helpful methodological literature and software (e.g., advice on R packages, assistance in resolving error messages)

These are the limits:

• Keep in mind that it needs to stay your own academic work. We can only advise you if you can formulate a concrete concern and have already thought independently about the solution. In particular, we will refer you back to your supervisor for basic questions about hypothesis formulation and result interpretation.
• We do not produce text or code. We only respond to specific questions and help with specific R problems. We also expect you to bring your own concrete solutions that we can work on together.
• We do not proof read your text or code.
• We can't answer content questions, only methodological ones.
• We do not replace your mentoring, especially during the Empra. If you feel you can't turn to your supervisor, we can talk about that too and find a solution. However, we cannot offer permanent supervision.
