Contains everything from the BIM Research Methods course. No information is left out, and I've added extra notes next to some of the more complex topics. In short: all the relevant info made available in a singular file with all it's searchable content (ctrl+F). Post-exam, I added yellow stars next...

, Learning Objectives
Describe the basic research methodologies in Explain how to decide on a research methodology in the
the BIM field domain of empirical research
Understand how to design a survey Clean, organize and analyse data in R
Display data in various graphs Interpret probabilities and random variables
Discuss and explain research hypotheses Perform basic univariate multivariate econometric analyses
Justify certain research methods for the Evaluate the difference in performance of different statistical
research question at hand methods and discuss advantages and drawbacks of methods




Session 1: Econometrics I
Literature: Field et al. (2021) Ch.2 & 5

1.1 Plotting your Data
How to present data clearly?
 Show the data;
 Induce the reader to think about the data being presented (rather than some other aspect of the graph);
 Avoid distorting the data;
 Present many numbers with minimum ink;
 Make large data sets (assuming you have one) coherent);
 Encourage the reader to compare different pieces of data;
 Reveal the data.

1.1.1 Scatterplot
Simple scatterplot with Smooth Line Simple scatterplot with Regression Line




scatter <- ggplot(examData, aes(Anxiety, Exam)) scatter <- ggplot(examData, aes(Anxiety, Exam))
scatter + geom_point() + geom_smooth() lab(x = scatter + geom_point() + geom_smooth(method =
"Exam Anxiety", y = "Exam Performance %") "lm", colour = "Red")+ labs(x = "Exam Anxiety",
y = "Exam Performance %")


Scatter plots are useful to see the general tendency of your data (is it linear? Do I see an obvious trend?)




1

,Grouped Scatterplots with Regression Lines


scatter <- ggplot(examData, aes(Anxiety, Exam,
colour = Gender)) scatter + geom_point() +
geom_smooth(method = "lm", aes(fill = Gender),
alpha = 0.1) + labs(x = "Exam Anxiety", y = "Exam
Performance %", colour = "Gender")

The correlation between male anxiety and male performance
is stronger (vs woman).




1.1.2 Histograms
 The score (x-axis) festivalHistogram <-
o The frequency (y-axis) ggplot(festivalData,
 Histograms help us to identify: aes(day1))
festivalHistogram +
o The shape of the distribution geom_histogram(binwidt
o Skew the mode of the distribution is either: h = 0.4 ) + labs(x =
 Left (positive skew) or "Hygiene (Day 1 of
Festival)", y =
 Right (negative skew) "Frequency")
o Kurtosis (when your distribution is very pointy)
o Spread or variation in scores shows the skewness
 Unusual scores

1.1.3 Boxplots
The box shows:
• The median (middle score when numbers are ordered)
• The upper and lower quartile
• The limits within which the middle 50% of scores lie.
• The limits within which the top and bottom 25% of scores lie
The whiskers show:
• The range of scores
• The limits within which the top and bottom 25% of scores lie


Quartiles
o The three values that split the sorted data into four equal parts
o Second quartile = median
o Lower quartile = median of lower half of the data
o Upper quartile = median of upper half of the data

Good to find outliers and how your data is distributed →

, 1.1.4 Bar Charts
This is a good chart for mean comparison. The vertical lines around the mean are the confidence intervals.
The error bar sticks out from the bar like a whisker. It displays the precision of the mean in one of three ways:
(1) Confidence interval (usually 95%), (2) Standard deviation, (3) Standard error of the mean

Bar Chart: One Dependent Variable:
Step 1: bar <- ggplot(ChickFlick, aes(film, arousal)) bar +
stat_summary(fun.y = mean, geom = "bar", fill = "White", colour =
"Black")
Step 2: …stat_summary(fun.data = mean_cl_normal, geom = "pointrange") …+
labs(x = "Film", y = "Mean Arousal")
Step 3:
bar + stat_summary(fun.y = mean, geom = "bar", fill = "White", colour
= "Black") + stat_summary(fun.data = mean_cl_normal, geom =
"pointrange") + labs(x = "Film", y = "Mean Arousal")

Bar Chart: Two Independent Variables:
bar + stat_summary(fun.y = mean, geom = "bar",
position="dodge") +

stat_summary(fun.data = mean_cl_normal, geom = "errorbar",
position = position_dodge(width = 0.90), width = 0.2) + labs(x
= "Film", y = "Mean Arousal", fill = "Gender")

Men enjoy Bridget Jones more (on average) than women. Looking at the
confidence intervals, the means are statistically different for Bridget Jones
and not for Momento.

Two Independent Variables in Separate Panels

bar <- ggplot(chickFlick, aes(film, arousal, fill = film))
bar + stat_summary(fun.y = mean, geom = "bar") +
stat_summary(fun.data
= mean_cl_normal, geom = "errorbar", width = 0.2) + facet_wrap( ~
gender) + labs(x = "Film", y = "Mean Arousal")




1.2 Terminology
Hypothesis Independent Variable Dependent Variable
o Statement of o The proposed cause o The proposed effect
cause and o A predictor variable o An outcome variable
effect o A manipulated variable (in experiments) o Measured not manipulated (in experiments)
o ‘The early bird o Whether a bird wakes up early or late to go get the o Whether the bird catches the worm or not
catches the worms o Observed
worm’
Population Sample
o The collection of units (be they people, plankton, plants, cities, suicidal o A smaller (but hopefully representative)
authors, etc.) to which we want to generalize a set of findings or a collection of units from a population used to
statistical model. determine truths about that population.
