Data analysis The purpose of this assignment is to give you practical experience with real data, especially for those of you who do not typically work with data.

We expect each group to put in 8-12 hours on this project. Your progress on the assignment should be commensurate with your skills and experience. Plan to spend 2 hours or so getting organized with your group, 6 hours or so doing analyses, and 4 hours or so writing a report with figures) about the data and what you found, for each dataset.

There are two datasets (linked below): One from Mozer's lab, and one from Wager's. Both are real data. Mozer's data involves reaction time (RT) as a primary outcome, and Wager's data involves choice and learning guided by aversive experience (pain).

You should work with your group on all phases of the project. Your posting should be approximately 2-3 printed pages, with figures that are interpretable and present the most meaningful summaries of the data you can muster up. Don't include raw data plots or plots without the axes clearly labeled and explained, and referred to in the text. Follow something like this structure: - What is the dataset, and what are the most meaningful potential relationships to test/visualize? - How did you approach the dataset in terms of analysis, statistical/viz packages, etc.? - What did you find? - What do you think it means? - And include a paragraph on your group process – how did you work together?
