Systat on the other hand (the big ugly hairy mainframe version). . . Usually I have no problems with it, but I couldn't understand from the manual how to set up a design with two or more repeating factors for a within subjects design. But then I figured it out and was happy. (Until I actually did the statistics, then I was baffled again.) I will say, though, that Statistica is a far better and more user friendly program than SPSS or minitab, both of which I have fought through before.

Chi, did I ever tell you the story of being stuck on a research paper and having a Professor at another University help me with all the stats I was trying to do by hand? As I was explaining to my Professor who helped me, we both started cracking up. He knew I was going to struggle because I hadn't taken stats, and he OK'd me to go anywhere and ask anyone for help. He actually added points for my "connections". A great college memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Minitab was brutal, just the data input was enough to make me want to gnaw my leg off to get away. I'm glad my hardcore statistics days are behind me, and all I have to do is know enough StatView to get the undergrads going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His summary was hilarious. It went something like, In the middle of the night you email, no pmd, a Professor and asked him for help, and he helped? And these are the charts? LOL, now I've heard everything. He also looked over my attempts by hand and accused me of being a perfectionist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Tex, wait, wait, wait, people did stats by hand? Kidding, that's a good college story, though. As an undergrad I was horrible at stats, really didn't get it, and I vowed to marry a statistician so I wouldn't have to do them myself. After having a competent teacher I love it. There's just something so beautiful about designing an experiment and then watching the stats come out all perfect and glorious. My current data, though, yikes. No effects at all where there "should" be, and a very definite trend against some pretty cogent work done on similar stimuli in Dutch. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out. But data, man, that's my crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxy Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 So, not sure why, but today my response to my friends pretty much independent of the situation has been, "Boo, you whore!" No clue where I got this from or why I'm always saying it. On a related note, I no longer have friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
