Description:

Multiple comparisons is a common problem in statistics. If you don't deal with it correctly, you can inflate the false positive rate. You don't want that! This workshop introduces a range of techniques for making adjustments to significance levels when performing multiple analyses of your data. More importantly, you'll learn ways to avoid having to do this.

Prerequisites: Participants should be familiar with introductory-level statistics, including the concepts of significance tests, confidence intervals, and p-values.
