::(b) Run a <math>\chi^2</math>-test on both tables. Compare to the paper (for Table 1, there doesn't seem to be a <math>\chi^2</math> test for Table 2). Did you reproduce it? | ::(b) Run a <math>\chi^2</math>-test on both tables. Compare to the paper (for Table 1, there doesn't seem to be a <math>\chi^2</math> test for Table 2).

::(c) Install the package "gmodels" and try to display the table using the function <code>CrossTable()</code>. This will give you output very similar to SPSS. | ::(c) Install the package "gmodels" and try to display the table using the function <code>CrossTable()</code>.

::( | ::(c) It's important to be able to import tables directly into your word processor without cutting and pasting individual cells. Can you export the ''output'' of your table? There are a bunch of functions you can use to do this. I used the "xtable" package but I think that <code>write.table()</code> and Excel would do the job just as well. | ||
: '''PC2.''' At the [[Community Data Science Workshops]] we had two parallel afternoon sessions on Day 1. In my session, there were 42 participants. In Tommy Guy's session, there were only 19. The next week (Day 2), we asked folks to raise their hands if they had been in Tommy's session (14 did ) and how many had been in mine (31 did). There was clearly attrition in both groups! Was there ''more'' attrition in one group than another? Try answering this both with a test of proportions (<code>prop.test()</code>) and with a <math>\chi^2</math>. Compare your answers. Is there convincing evidence that there is a dependence between instructor and attrition? | : '''PC2.''' At the [[Community Data Science Workshops]] we had two parallel afternoon sessions on Day 1.

: '''PC3.''' [https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/2NJV2P Download this dataset that was just published on "The Effect of Images of Michelle Obama’s Face on Trick-or-Treaters’ Dietary Choices: A Randomized Control Trial."] The paper doesn't seem to have even been published yet so I think the abstract is all we have. We'll come back to it again next week. | : '''PC3.'''
