Understanding Statistics

Published: 25 February 2021 Publication History

Abstract

Most participants of MobileHCI will have had to deal with statistics: sometimes formal statistics with tests and probabilities, sometimes informally ‘eyeballing data’. Even if you do not use statistics in your own work, you are likely to need to interpret the statistics in other people’s papers and reports. This tutorial is intended to help you navigate the often confusing discussions about the use and misuse of statistics, to help you gain a ’gut feeling’ for statistics and also know when not to trust those instincts. The tutorial builds on the instructor’s recent book “Statistics for HCI” and also extensive freely available videos and other online material.
