Hi everyone

Instats is pleased to be offering free seminars on Using Confidence Intervals 
for Visual Testing for R (Oct 25) and Stata (Nov 1), with professor David 
Armstrong from the University of Western Ontario:

Confidence intervals and visualizations of them are common in the presentation 
of statistical results. Since their invention in the 1930's, researchers have 
recognized that readers will try to make inferences comparing estimates by 
evaluating whether confidence intervals overlap. A long line of research has 
discussed the pitfalls of this and attempted to build inferences around the 
probability that confidence intervals overlap under the null hypothesis - 
essentially burdening the visual display with an additional hypothesis testing 
function. To improve on this, these seminars will explore new visual tools that 
allow researchers to understand the precision of their estimates and to 
visually compare different groups or conditions in a meaningful and 
statistically defensible way. Designed for researchers across many disciplines, 
this workshop will equip participants with the expertise needed to leverage 
confidence intervals effectively using R and Stata.

Instats is also offering free seminars on Switching from SPSS to R 
<https://instats.org/seminar/switching-from-spss-to-r-free-2-hour-se2> (Nov 5) 
and Efficient Programming in R 
<https://instats.org/seminar/efficient-programming-using-r-free-semi2> (Jan 
27). We look forward to seeing you there!


Best wishes
