Book Draft – “Making Good Decisions” – Workbook for Volume 1 – Part V: Section #4 – The Template for Reading Research Papers – Statistical Testing & Statistical Classification (Post #6 of 8)
This post presents pages 11 & 12 of the Template for Reading Research Papers. See pdf file at the link below. The attached pdf file enhances the stand-alone, one-page summary (see post for pages 1 & 2) with a chart, two matrices, and sample questions that continue the sixth level of analysis:
· Describing the quantitative methods used in the research paper
The eight levels of analysis include: (i) Perspective, (ii) Scientific Domain(s), (iii) Historical Lineage, (iv) Purpose, (v) Methodology, (vi) Methods, (vii) Assumptions & Hypotheses, and (viii) Meaning.
The charts, tables, & models come from Parts I, II, III, and IV of Volume 1. Readers can find the substance, connections, & references behind these charts, tables, & models in the prior Substack posts. Over time, and as we complete this process of public peer-reviews, Parts I, II, III, and IV from Volume 1 will be published as separate, printed workbooks. As you review the Template, & use it to take your own reading notes, let me know what changes, & new questions you would like to see in it.
This book, a collection of eleven workbooks in three volumes, gives readers tools, checklists, & processes to “See for Yourself” the perspective, scientific domains, historical context, purpose, methodology, methods, assumptions, & meaning of the research papers, books, & stories that compete for their attention.
The printed version of Volume 1 of this book comes in the form of five separate workbooks, one workbook for each one of its five Parts. The workbook for Volume 1 - Part V starts the printed publication schedule to give readers the summary & bottom-line of this book as a deliverable that they can use before reading the details behind the charts, tables, & models.
