58980-01 - Seminar: Collecting Data Efficiently through Sequential Analyses 1 CP

Semester fall semester 2023
Course frequency Irregular
Lecturers Angela Leipold (angela.leipold@unibas.ch, Assessor)
Content Der Workshop wird von Prof. Daniël Lakens (Eindhoven University) angeboten.

When designing an experiment it is essential to think about the sample size you need to collect. However, due to uncertainty in the effect size you will observe, it is often difficult to perform an a-priori power analysis. It would often be much more convenient to collect data in small batches and repeatedly analyze the data, were it not for the fact that this is known as a ‘p-hacking’, and inflates the Type 1 error rate. In this workshop we will discuss statistical techniques to sequentially analyze data in small batches, or even after every participant, without inflating error rates. Such approaches are efficient and flexible ways to collect data when the expected effect size is uncertain. We will focus on sequential analyses technique developed in biostatistics, but also discuss novel developments such as ‘safe tests’ and Bayesian sequential analyses. This workshop has a pragmatic, hand-on approach, and we will discuss how to incorporate feasibility constraints, stopping either after concluding the presence or the absence of a meaningful effect, and free software tools that exists to design and analyze sequential trials.

SC-PSY rules for withdrawal, absence, or partial course attendance:

If you cannot attend a workshop that you have signed up for, please cancel your course registration as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to angela.leipold@unibas.ch. This will allow other PhD students interested in the course to move up from the waiting list. The SC-PSY strongly values fairness. After the university’s official registration period has ended, cancelled course will be assessed with NE. Course registrations can be cancelled until one week before the workshops begins. In the case of late cancellations, participants will not be considered for course registration in the next three months of the lecture periods and will be removed from the registration list of any course they have signed up during these three upcoming months of the lecture periods.

If an urgent, unforeseeable, or inevitable event before or during the workshop prevents a participant from attending, a written and substantiated withdrawal request that includes appropriate documentation (e.g. a doctor’s note) must be submitted to angela.leipold@unibas.ch within two days of the workshop and without being prompted. The program director decides on the approval of the withdrawal request.

ECTS-points are awarded only for 100% course attendance.
