Companion to the Nursing Ph.D. & DNP Statistics Curricula
A set of explanations, resources, and activities to complement the statistics curriculum that is part of Hunter College’s Ph.D. Program in Nursing Research and Health Equity and DNP Program.
Very much a work in progress—and anyway intended to be in addition to and not instead of the many resources elsewhere—this companion currently contains:
A discussion of making connections between the concepts of significance, correlations & partial/semipartial correlations, signal-to-noise ratios, and model building (Chap. 1)
Step-by-step guides to using various stat-related software (Chaps. 4 – 8)
A hands-on guide to writing Results sections (Chap. 9)
Activities that expand upon the statistical concepts covered in the courses and the hands-on activities that apply & reinforce those concepts (Chaps. 10 – 14)
Tables of common statistical abbreviations and terms along with their meanings (Apps. A & B)
A small collection of decision trees (flowcharts) to decide which analysis to conduct (App. C)
