These videos are meant to provide brief introductions to correlational analysis and regression analysis, as well as the importance of the pre-work that should be done before getting into the analyses. It is important to get a good understanding of your data--the sample and the population from which the data were collected. Also, for every analysis that is conducted you need to check the underlying assumptions and make decision about how the data will be handled. The key is being intentional about all of the decisions that are made (preliminary screening and the actual analyses) and to the extent possible planning for how different issues that may arise with the data will be handled.
